Voice Of Heaven Poem by Amar Agarwala

I can hear a voice somewhere
I know not if its within,
It speaks to me wordlessly
And rarely above the din;

Could it be the voice of God
But how would I know its him?
It speaks without a language
I wonder if its my whim;

Times I hark to its bidding
Often I ignore its voice,
Yet know when I heed it not
I make a terrible choice;

I have no qualms in saying
That the voice is never wrong,
At times it soothes my senses
But sometimes its urgings prong;

Wish I could believe its God
But my faith wavers in time,
When passing days get harder
I shun its pleadings sublime;

Wisdom comes with age I know
But one needs to hark the years,
Swim across a sea of pain
Sail through an ocean of fears;

Times I have felt forsaken
By many who stood beside,
But note with growing wonder
The voice hasn't left my side;

Oh Sweet Heavens if its you
That has shadowed me life-long?
Why is it that I failed to
Decipher your mystic song?

Pray, bless me with boundless faith
To have realization deep,
That I honour your diction's
And your judgement I may keep;

Oh silence let me know thou
As to err I can't afford,
May I ever follow you
For thou art the voice of God!
