Loud Whispers & Quiet Screams

by Tameko L. Barnette


I call out to you/can you hear me/can you feel the vibrations from my voice / as they rattle the foundation of my existence without you/can you sense the pain/ can you rub some of your healing balm on my heart/the smooth, refreshing feeling of love/ can you rub that on my heart/just a little bit/just enough to let me know that I am needed/ just enough to let me know that I am wanted/just enough to let me know that I am loved

I don't think you heard me though/so maybe I need to scream it out/ because the sweet, gentle whispers/I've been trying to caress your ears with/ are not being heard/do I need to scream/ do I need to make a damn fool out of myself/ do I need to express myself/ in total selflessness/tell me what to do/yes, I'm talking to you/ God, I know you hear me/are you there/are you here/will you forgive me what did you say, God/what's that/you do forgive me/thank you
