Whisper

Gary Edward Geraci

Needless noise haunts this haven,

Blaring horns and boisterous pipes,

Restless people shuffling papers,

Labored breathing through fiber masks.

 

Distant rumblings - rocket tests,

Shakes me from a ringing slumber,

Looking up to gaze and ponder,

You’re infinitely silent.

 

If I hear at all; a whisper:

This chalice I’m to drink,

To understand Your silence,

And expand my frame in wisdom.

 

Nothing less through the ages;

Saints, prophets, sages all the same.

Adoring the invisible

Through faith that makes visible.

    Well written, Gary. Very smart.

    • Gary Edward Geraci

      Thank you Jerry for your read and affirmation! Ah - I hit the “Report” button rather than the “Reply” button in my last response to your affirmation - if you are notified - this is why (and you’ll see the same thank you as in the first line of this response).

        So easily done.

        A fine write Gary.
        Some rather stern hymns say similar, e.g. 'Let all mortal flesh keep silence'.
        I read in a book: 'I tried to cough reverently!' (lol)

        • Gary Edward Geraci

          Thank you Orchidee - now, for the sake of your very life you want to cough as covertly as possible less you rattle the ire of the COVID patrol!
