The Whisper of Our Soul

The Whisper of Our Soul

 

I sit amidst the hectic call of life

Encumbered with a heavy toll of strife

Watching other people busily pass by

Hearing their silent but deep, heavy sigh

Weighed down with “what if” on their mind

Searching for a peace they cannot find

Occupied with such busyness of heart

That technology and media impart

Hurrying to reach the next destination

While masking a rising desperation

By chance I look up, a breath to take

And behold the serenity of yonder lake

And for a moment life seems a little lighter

The rays of hope shine a little brighter

And my soul says, “Slow down, take it in.”

“Get back to the basics of life again.

Dig your toes in the sand, feel the breeze

Catch rays from the sun, see the trees.

Get out on the water and jump in to play.

Take time to really LIVE life, every day!”
