Writing in The Dark

Whispers

Sharing Light, 12"x12" acrylic by; Keith McHugh

A faint whispering in my ear,

Little nudges I do hear,

Tired eyes begin to tear,

Messages coming in clear,

Transmissions of cheer,

"We are near,

"You are here,

"Get in gear,

"Be Sincere,

"And have no fear.

"Don't interfere,

"Volunteer."

I veer towards the right,

Steering into the Light.

Disappearing from sight,

As I peer into the night,

I witness the blight,

Gaining the might,

Fighting for our sphere,

I take flight and reappear,

The damage is severe.

I'll burn so bright,

All they see is white,

A flame here to ignite,

Your spark,

Illuminating the dark,

"They're coming to make their mark,

So here is where I'll park."

Says a whisper in my ear.
