His Voice

I’ve read it’s like a whisper riding on the wind.
All I hear is the sound of the branches, as they bend.
Someone once told me, it was like an angry man!
So, does it sound like Thunder, rolling across the land?
God, I’d like to know your voice. Once I do, then I can rejoice!
Sometimes I sit in the stillness and close my ears tight.
I try to think of nothing, I hear a thought and think, that can’t be right..
I try to get away from the noise.
So, I dive down deep and sit with poise.
Once I get to the depths, I can only hear my heart.
Suddenly, my lungs feel like they’re falling apart!
I rushed to the surface yet again, to hear nothing but wind, waves, and pelicans.
Pulling the boat behind, I think of the day and try to unwind.
Misunderstanding why I can’t hear you, but others say, they do;
Pulling up the driveway, I arrive at home.
My Daughter yells “DADDY!”, My son says, “Hi Daddy” and my wife “Hey Babe” then I know I’m not alone.
I think back and I hear it!!
It’s the whisper of the wind, the tree branches as they bend!
It’s the angry man, and the Thunder in the land
It’s the thought you put there that I didn’t listen to, when I held my ears so tight.
It’s all the noise I tried to get away from even at night.
When I dove down deep and almost came undone. Lord YOU, are in each of my Loved ones
God, Thank you for talking with me.
I Love you, and I rejoice in Thee.
