Whisper

{For you-know-who,
through the storms,
listen for the Whisper.
Keep shining like you do :),
we need it.

"shhh...

Seek to grow from the smallness..."

Like the seed that's alive before it shows;
     like I can't get out of bed this morning.
Like a flower faces the sun;
     like I can choose to rise.
Like a breeze nods and waves the leaves;
     like I will smile back.

Like petals reviving the air you breathe;

     like I will exhale life with words and silence with eyes that meet.

Like a flower passed from hand to hand to hand;
     like I can choose to love.
Like a single stem can stand to protect, to guide:
     despite the rain -
     because of the rain.

Moment by moment by moment:
     she rises;
          she receives;
               she steps;
                    she turns;
                         she looks;
                              she gives;
                                   she receives;
                                        they smile;
                                                  they leave;
                                                  protected by 
                                                  the delicate,
                                                  the strong:
                                                  a symbol of them.

"shhh...

Like a rose grows more beautiful after the storm,

you are even more 

beautiful than this."
