The Silent Whisper

As the soft whisper of death speaks into his ears,
You can see it in his eyes,
The loneliness and shear terror of his fears.

As I took hold of his dying hand,
The very blood draining from his heart,
I could feel the warmth of his breath upon me.

I could feel the coldness of the eternal chill,
As the last breath of life slowly slips from his lips,
I heard the silent whisper of his will.

“Please ohh GOD in the heavens above,
Carry my soul across the river’s keep,
Let me not fall into an eternal darkness of sleep,
But instead, to awaken to the grace of your sweet love”.

So I stood there crying tears into a river’s flow,
I dropped down to my knees in utter awe,
The last sight that could be seen in his eyes,
Was the purity of a glow.

As I felt the warmth slowly draining from his heart,
I knew his soul was carried into the gates keep,
I saw it in the last glaze of his eyes as they fell to sleep.

The love of his soul became the token of his will,
As the nightly candle was lit to fulfill,
The eternal darkness was not to be,
For within the purity of the light shall one see.

Forever shall his memory live on as this rhyme,
The silent whisper flowing into the oceans of time…

Chaos128 commented on The Silent Whisper 08-21-2010: A powerful and powerfully told tale or transition; it's not knowing what comes next that makes it dodgy.; Reply to Comment

angel33614 09/03/2010: Perhaps no one alive knows this answer for sure, but to look into the eyes of the dying, to be there when they take their very last breath of life, I think is the closest we can come with out meeting the reaper ourselves.

cheronld commented on The Silent Whisper 08-17-2010: My friend you have touched on a subject that will always elude me...not because I don't believe there is a heaven...but more because of the deaths of innocence...we all hear that they are going to a better place...for me I question why they had to go...what makes one life more precious than the other....I know I know...way too heavy for this beautiful write....this truly is a write that will touch on the emotional cords of many....you lay out a hope and inspire warmth....this is a wonderful write my friend...I hope to see this as you do someday....beautiful write..Cher; Reply to Comment

angel33614 09/03/2010: Not to heavy at all my friend, not in the least! As for the answer, it is a little beyound my scope of knowledge, only one person can answer such a question, I may be an angel but I am certainly not God. I truely don't believe one life is more precious than another, it is more we all have our own journeys to live, some longer than others. It certainly is not fair to lose a love one early in thier life, exspecially a child, but in truth what really makes a life is not the length but the quality of one exsistence. If one lives to be a 100 but does so as the walking dead, living only in th elies of illusions and in the rat maze of life, never really learning what it truely means to live, to be alive. Then you have a child who is taken at a young age, but so full of life and joy, happiness and bliss, a child filled with the light and love of God and knows God in thier heart of hearts, truthfully which life was taken to early, which life sould we really mourn??? Food for thought... Thank you so much for your kind review and comments, they are always greatly appreciated and always welcome! Purity of the soul, journey well!!! with grace and humility ANGEL
