Pay Attention to the Whisper

Holding on to memories
That sink deep into my mind
Digging into guilt and blame
And nothing else to find

Although I saw how much I changed
I could not drop the thought
That what I did, caused and left pain
In those young children’s hearts

For years, I only looked
At days decades ago
In my guilt, I refused to look
At what the present is to show

My noise of blame was much too loud
To finally find salvation
When one small thought revealed a truth
And cleared the lenses of distortion

When we want clarity, we must
Silence the inner twister
Sometimes the biggest insights come
With just a silent whisper

In Love and Life
