In the stillness of my soul

(Photo by : Dondi Narciso)

By the light of the moon,

I sit in loneliness.

Head bowed down;

defeated.

My mind races;

fear is what it speaks.

I lift up a prayer

of supplication.

My heart stirs;

hope is all I hold on to.

A whisper,

I hear.

Is it the wind

making music

caressing my being,

The rustle of leaves

creating a melody

soothing my spirit?

Silence.

I hear nothing.

In the stillness of my soul,

the sweetest voice emerges

softly singing,

cradling my whole being,

My spirit soars;

Love is what gives meaning.
