Whispers of the Heart
Whispers of the Heart
Sarah Rivers
1
In the quiet moments between dawn and day,
2
When shadows dance and dreams still play,
3
I hear the whispers of my heart,
4
Speaking truths that set me apart.
5
6
Like pages turning in an ancient book,
7
Each word a journey, each line a look
8
Into the depths of human soul,
9
Where love and longing make us whole.
10
11
The heart speaks not in words alone,
12
But in rhythms that have always known
13
The language of the universe,
14
In verses both simple and diverse.
15
16
It tells of love that knows no bounds,
17
Of hope that in darkness abounds,
18
Of courage found in tender places,
19
And grace that time never erases.
20
21
These whispers echo through the years,
22
Carrying laughter, carrying tears,
23
Stories of triumph, tales of loss,
24
The beauty found in every cross.
25
26
So listen closely, dear friend,
27
To the messages your heart will send,
28
For in its gentle, steady beat,
29
Lies wisdom both bitter and sweet.
30
31
The heart remembers what the mind forgets,
32
It holds the dreams that time begets,
33
And in its whispers, soft and true,
34
You'll find the path that leads to you.
35
36
For every heart has its own song,
37
A melody that carries on
38
Through all the seasons of our lives,
39
In joy and sorrow, love and strife.
40
41
So let your heart speak freely now,
42
And to its wisdom learn to bow,
43
For in its whispers, pure and clear,
44
You'll find the voice you need to hear.
