The sun is saying goodbye
gently walking to the horizon.
As I look at the distance sky,
I thought, “… in an instant, everything changed;
and it was never the same.”
I let my thoughts take me
On the wings of the wind,
I breathe the deep peace
To quiet my restless soul.
The soft, innocent waves enthrall me
With their rhythmic cadence.
Waves of ephemeral existence
Remind me to be grateful.
I gather, yes, everything changed,
But life has meaning after all.
This sight of extraordinary sunset
Makes me feel capable and strong.
Thus, I’ll walk tall expecting my miracle.
I’ll walk focused on the beauty of this day’s decline,
as the calm slowly descends upon it with ease.
I know I’ve found faith, I know that after the fire
comes God’s gentle whisper:
“Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed.”

- Comment from author about the poem: The Gentle Whisper is a poem inspired by my niece Rosa M Colon. She wrote, "... in an instant everything changed; and it was never the same". The title comes from Elijah's experience with God's presence while he was in the cave. The last line come from Isaiah 41:10 the poem is an inspiration from this awesome picture in the beach. I was compel to write it immediately.
