Whisper in the Wind
Can you hear that?
Yes!
The rumble of the ground
Earth rebels
Cracking and seething
Shaking
Men cry in terror
Buildings fall apart
No, that's not what I meant!
Can you hear that?
Yes!
And I feel the heat!
Sweat pours from me!
Flames lick loudly
Inferno rages
Deafening as wood splinters
External roar
We're all going to die!
No, that's not what I meant!
Can you hear that?
Yes!
Howling gale
Windy scream
Shuddering through all it meets
Causing involuntary cries
From all in its path
Devastating
Tears form in my eyes!
No, that's not what I meant!
Can you hear that?
No
No, I hear nothing
I am worn out
Listen!
It is almost overwhelmed
A tidal wave of white noise seeks to tune it out
Chatter chatter seeks to block it
Competing ideologies seek to confuse it
Listen!
A little voice
You have to be quiet
You have to filter out the other voices
Shhhh!
The whisper
Be still and know that this is God
