Sometimes when we do Poetry, do we ever think to read it as a whisper;
try this one on as nothing more than just a Whisper, for it will talk to you that way at times.

It is deep,
It lays in wait;
It's time is expected,
And unexpected;
It is deep within,
And from the depths within;
It comes,
Darkness;
No seed need bring It,
It comes as It wants;
It is sadness,
It is sorrow;
It can be your worst nightmare,
It can be your worst enemy;
Yet It resides within,
It is the side;
That is the most feared,
Because It is the side that many hide;
It puts each of us in the wrong moods,
It can cause the worst of problems;
Yet It is still Dark,
And it is always deep;
Sometimes it comes slowly,
Sometimes not;
Yet each of us have this,
And each of us work hard;
It is Our depressions,
That each of us call a different name;
Yet we must live with its side,
No matter what we may do that is right;
It makes us remember Our wrongs,
And makes Us unhappy;
And makes Us blue,
But We also know what is true;
This enemy that comes from the Depths within,
Is One each of Us know well in Ourselves;
For it is Ourselves,
That We must battle;
Yet it is GrandFather who helps each of Us,
Through by the friends that We all have;
Or by merely a bird as it sings in the morning ,
Or by the chirp of the cricket;
What each of Us need,
As I have heard it said;
"The strength not to be greater than Our Brothers,
but to fight Our greatest enemy
~Ourselves~";
So understand that this whisper comes,
From Knowledge that has and still is learning;
about Oneself,
And the Darkness that comes;
And the Wisdom and Understanding,
And the Discernment to help control;
That which comes deeply from,
The Depths Within.
