The Whispered Stop

The power of a soft word

More powerful then the greatest yael

More direct then the greatest stare

More effective then tongues can tell

The whispered Stop all should fear

 

Mover of mountains commander of shores

Stiller of Oceans, winds and the rains

Firmer then strong hands men adores

The whispered Stop surely restrains

 

The intensity, its intent in clarity

Purpose undeniable, its point stated

One speech, one resolve in charity

The whispered Stop, and all abated

 

God speaks from a far His word obey

Silent the omen destruction is sure

If you hear His voice obey today

God's whispered Stop, from the lure

 

She cries, her passion unmistakable

Pain in her eyes, trembling her form

Her look distant and miserable

The whispered stop, hails a storm
