Whispering in the Dark | ORIGINAL Lyrics | Poem to Song

Another poem I had written where I was trying to write about something else, but nothing else would come out so I gave in. Just trying to ease the weight of heavy thoughts and work through reconciling with unresolvable burdens. Welcome to a tiny piece of the chaos that lives rent-free in mah brainzz.

The song isn't really about Halloween, but it's got the right dark vibes so...

Happy Halloween!!

Lyrics:

Whispering in the dark,
praying for something to start.

Pushing buttons to broken elevators,
wishing for a change in elevation.
Standing still with empty hands
holding a life turned to sand.

Ghosts of dreams crushed barely recalled
haunt barren spaces and waiting room walls.
Calling out names of the Holy One,
seeking escape from the weight of it all.

Elohim.

Running into walls for as long as it takes,
for them to crumble, for them to break,
Calling on Yahweh to brighten the shadows
on the dark side of an uncertain line
between glorious sun and odious shade.

The body wages endless war
as the mind carries the storm.
Thoughts and emotions
deprived of expression
battle denial, what ifs, and maybes
on the dark side of an uncertain line
between what was and what still can be.

Count the quality, not the quantity,
of all the days on the calendar
that come and go as new reminders
there’s still hope in the eyes of eternity...

…eternity…
…eternity.

El Shaddai.

Running into walls for as long as it takes,
for them to crumble, for them to break,
Calling on Yahweh to brighten the shadows
on the dark side of an uncertain line
between glorious sun and odious shade.

Emmanuel.

It takes time to relinquish control,
to calm a reeling mind of my own.
Weary and worn, tired and bored,
seeking direction on an unknown path
that holds promise of something better that lasts.

Hosanna.

Whispering in the dark,
praying for something to start.

…Never give up…
…never surrender.

Adonai.
