Whispers

There are ALWAYS whispers.
What whispers do you listen to?

Do you listen to the faint gurgle of jealous tongues
that waggle with harmful insults?

Do you listen to the ripples from deafening screams
from those so desperate to be heard?

Or do you listen to the quiet voice inside your heart
that speaks of kindness
and love
and generosity
and giving
and support
and hospitality
and hope?

I know the whispers that fill my head!
