Whispers from Above

Why is it that

My comfort

Lies in the hands

Of people I barely know

*

When is it time

For me to find

The names of the ones

Who keep me safe

*

Does it come from

Up above

Or is it already

Within

*

What is this

Unfamiliarity

That feels

So strong

*

Like a song

Beating in my heart

Without knowing

The melody

*

Which is the way

To the station

That contains

Whispers of their hope

*

That somehow

Has gotten

Pressed into my

Deepest fears

*

How is it that

Once I remember

Everything simply

Floats away

*

I hope we

Will meet

One day
