Words in the Quiet

Listening. Waiting. 

Can you hear it?

Soft whispers. Strain your ear.

What does it mean?

Life is but a breath.

Blown away like the wind.

Our purpose is what?

The voice speaks louder.

Breaking the silence. He calls out.

No. You cannot go.

It’s not your time.

You must continue on.

Trudging up hill, like a battle fought with no hope.

You take your shot.

You take a hit.

Over and over. Life becomes a play.

Fighting for your life.

Acting fake.

Women, children, men. Everyone cries out.

He is good.

Reach for me.

Why can’t we understand?

Practice makes perfect.

No. Practice makes us stronger.

Perfection is unattainable.

Hope comes with a cost.

We lose sight. Missing our target.

What if it’s all for nothing?
