Always they are with me
Whispering to faint to really hear
No matter what I’m doing
I know there is something there
As soon as I have a chance
Enough time without distraction
I really mean to listen
There must be something
I am missing
If I can only catch them
When I can hear them clearly
And put them down on paper
Then perhaps I will understand
What they are trying to tell me
Always they are waiting
For me to grasp them gently
And coax them into the open
So they may give the message
That hides within the whispers
And grows only with the words
