At Last I Shall Listen

My past is heavy with
The lifeless
Meaning.
A frightened thought
My fast-approaching future
        Is.

I have the body and soul
Of hope completely in my
        Thoughts.
I shout at the top of my lungs.
My soul embodies the weight of
        Despair.

At last I am now learning the art of listening
to God’s
         Voice.
“Son, in your soulful silence is
My fruitful message,
         My All.”
