Whispers of the World

Serenity has settled upon me

A new dawn breaks the clouds

Calmness has settled in my soul

Understanding has whispered to me

There are gray clouds outside

But the sky is not dark

The universe is no longer in turmoil

I see my reflection in the broken glass

Relaxed and serene

A sigh escapes my lips

Pure air fills my lungs

And my heart explodes with compassion

Thoughts invade my mind

Knowing that I am misunderstood

Willing the world to see me

Wanting to reach out and stop the bleeding

For the suffering are calling out

But no one hears them

The quiet ones watch in the background

Waiting for their turn

And only I can feel the sorrow inflicted
