Whispers in a Thunderstorm

Spacious splendour trapped in an airless cage

my mind bends in the undercurrents of rage

What was it I last heard spoken in the fragments of peace

Jason escapes the Argonauts-The Fleece?

 

Draped across his shoulders still dripping warmish blood

Noah and his cranky yacht-floating in the flood

Did Jesus really turn the loaves and fishes into food

Or did he mesmerise the masses to make it sound so good?

 

The 'whispers' that I speak of are outside human thought

Like pearls so locked in shells that divers bravely fought

Once it breaks the surface, the bargaining then begins

Vanity a thirst, unable to conquer sins

 

These whispers that I speak of, are quiet in a storm

They won't support the Thunder or any peaceful calm

They are just words so placed in har-mony

They may mean so little-but more than you can see!

Author Notes

 

Yeah. That's it. All symbolism encased in oyster shells. You have to dig deep to find out what I mean? If you do find out, write me a comment. Its okay if its a nasty one. I'm used to brickbats. Evolutionary processes have made me develop a thick skin! Thanks
