A Whisper For You To Hear

--by sethi, posted Jul 31, 2009

Deep within my heart, I know it's often painful when we grow ,

into another chapter of this life filled with anger and with strife,

the passage should be smooth and clear

the way is possible and very near

so sit down beside me while I speak

very close now my voice is weak

let me whisper the secret of living

while I 'm still in the mood for giving

the answer that you desperately need

in this world of poverty and greed

in all the time i've spent this time

the best were the ones where i could rhyme

the balance of words gave my soul a lift

perked up my senses when I needed a shift

out of my self-created misery and pain,

cleaned out the chakras and kept me sane

the answer you see is crystal clear

find one thing that you hold dear

and in that one thing that gives you pleasure

you'll find an everlasting treasure

so sit still my friend and close your eyes

block out the world and all it's lies

see into the center of what is you

before long, you'll see it too,

the one thing that makes it fun

and worth a million when all is said and done,

my talent as I said this particular time

was to fill the world with witty rhyme

it's made the difference in where I 'm at

and will certainly determine

where I am after that

so sit close beside me and let yourself go

i guarantee you'll feel a flow

do it now before it's too late

life slips by quickly and it's suddenly gone

do what your heart tells you before the break of a new dawn.
