Night Whispers

As I sit alone in the stillness
Beneath the starry sky
I release my soul through the darkness
In search for the reasons why

Why are hearts so arrogant
Why do they starve for love
Why do they break so easily
Why do they push and shove

Why do they feel so empty
Why can’t anything fill the void
Why are they ever restless
So anxious and annoyed

Why do they burn with anger
When another disagrees
Why are they never satisfied
Why do they lust and greed

My soul returns from the darkness
Revealing whispers of the night
Of where wayward hearts went wrong
And how to make them right

They abandoned their Great Creator
And went their separate ways
Down a dangerous slippery slope
Not counting the price they’d pay.

They surrendered to the Evil One
They believed and trusted his lies
And followed him through the gates of Hell
Where his laughter smothered their cries

The Evil One hates the Creator
And all that He has made
He prowls about in the darkness
Corrupting hearts easily swayed

But there is healing for every heart
Broken and tortured by sin
When asking the Great Creator
To make it whole again

So guard your heart with open eyes
Never sleeping on the job
And be not fooled by the Evil One
He only seeks to rob

My body has slowed down, but my busy brain never stops thinking, creating, writing, taking pictures of clouds and trees, and everything in between. I battle anxiety and depression that doesn't get better with age. That's why I write, why I spend time alone, why I walk, why I take pictures, why I never stop.
