Very beautiful free verse poem about one's intense desire to be very near the Creator. How often do any of us have that desire??? Aren't we so usually caught up in our own lives, not really caring much about God or what He thinks??

Then too, there are those times when we get in touch with the part of us that DOES want a strong communion with Him, and e'one has a God-shaped void in them...

Thanks for sharing!

Mike

What a delight to read your free verse, Whisper. It has a psalmist quality about it that comes from someone's heart and daily appreciation for the Lord. The last verse encapsulates the entirety of the work.
Open my eyes, wake up my ears
soften my heart, ignite my mind
I am yours Lord
It is definitely a six star award
:-) Carolyn

This is a lovely spiritual poem full of calm and beauty.

I see it as being two halves - the first listing some of nature's miracles and the second, more of a prayer as you address God directly, seeking his nearness .

Cracker of a last line!

Well, Teresa, since this is a free verse poem, which professional poets have said is the most honest, true form of poetry that a poet has the capabilities to write, then who am I to offer suggestions for improvements? I feel what you've written is genuine, heartfelt, and a cry for understanding to the All Mighty for direction in your life.

I can't argue with any of those sentiments in the slightest...

Beautifully done.

I like the general tenor of your poem. I also like the 'tell me, tell me.' I think the imagery that use really works.

I would consider capitalizing 'you' of 'your' when it refers to the Lord. Put a comma after the second 'Lord.'

I do not like the repetition of whisper in the beginning. However, your final stanza is why I gave you five stars. I think that is particularly brilliant and evocative.

Thank you so much for your honest review and suggestions. Thanks for catching the Your and You need to be capitalized.

Hi Teresa. Heartfelt and heartfull poem. I like the simplicity and clearness. Often these poems can get cluttered and lose their beauty, yours shone and the fineness of it opened my heart.padumachitta

Your spiritual free verse poem is very moving and well-written, Teresa. I do wonder if all the prounouns used in your poem have to be capitalized because they are pronouns for Lord? Just wondering as I see them capitalized consistently.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)
