Whispers in my ear
My soul felt empty like a big black hole
I had nothing to live for and no place to go
there was no light and I felt the end was near
there was only darkness down a long black peer
the darkness brought anguish and the anguish brought fear
as darkness was about to consume my soul I heard a voice whisper in my ear
the voice so soft, gentle, and serene, said only you know the path to the light
the light is within you he said, you must choose what is tried true and right
if you follow this path the light will begin to appear
remember the light comes from within whispered the voice in my ear
everyone comes here with a plan and a purpose to this life
if this is not accomplished, there will be pain, suffering, and strife
you could have just come here to have some children to rear
or to write or paint or find the next cure said the voice that whispered in my ear
when you can’t find this purpose sometimes your soul can get lost
you search and you search but can’t find it at any cost
finding our purpose may seem so far but really is near
our purpose in life isn’t always what we think it is whispered the voice in my ear
when you find your reason for being you will find the elusive light
now in the dark things seem so right, up in front of me is getting bright
I can see the light when I begin to write, but for years I couldn’t hear
I know things will be better and it’s now very clear, all I have to do is listen, because I have an angel that whispers in my ear
