Whispers

Whispers

A Poem by KWP
"

as poets I imagine we all feel this yearning ....

"

the whispers 

have always been there 

quietly asking me to stay true 


silent echos of mind

run against the current

cross societal boundaries

jump into the heartfelt darkness

of the unknown known


the whispers in my soul

do not care for banality 

when expression dances

parrallel


the whispers ache 

down deep 

into my bones

softly tap,tap,tapping

on the very shell of my essence

reminding me

to break free of 

the shackles

THIS LIFE

only asking of one task


to stay true to me


tell me do you too 

hear the whispers?

I always hear the whispers. I truly feel this feeling more when I'm at the botanical garden with camera in hand. This written word of "Whispers" was a good read. Thank you KWP

You like spiders. I love photographing jumping spiders. Their not as big here as they are there.

Take your time. No hurry.
the "tap tap tapping on the very shell of my essence" is a great resonating touch and I love your format and word choices. Yes, I have often felt this way a majority of the time. I think it is because as poets our feelings are deep and we are not surface dwellers in this life... we see something that affects us, it must be addressed and written down, encapsulated, for the next generation of poets and thinkers... Good work.

oh my goodness!! the whispers ... how we need to plug in the amplifier but waaaaaaaaaaaaay to many times ignore, and suppress them ... i especially enjoy thinking on these lines:
"ump into the heartfelt darkness
of the unknown known"
the unknown known!!! i love it!!

the tone of your poem is gentle ..yet it tweeks, pokes and challenges at the same time ... one doesn't have to shout to be heard eh!? well done says i!

I hear whispers if I don't take my meds, but that's a different story. :)

As for the whispers to which you are referring, I think that might be your conscience. We all have one, KWP. And yes, the whisper is not very loud. Usually we have an added one; a different voice, louder and more demanding that wants what it wants when it wants it.

Which is our childish selfishness. Growth as you mention, the shell of your essence, truly can be reached by blocking that one out and instead listening to your inner voice ...
