Chapter 66

Whisper

It begins as a whisper
We faintly start to hear it
We question its existence
As it gently touches our spirit

The whisper can echo
As it starts to flow
Through our entire being
Its volume will delicately grow

A whisper can remain silent
If we mute its force
Or rise to a shout
If its inspiration we endorse

Most whispers remain soundless
For the scream we hear is rejection
We cower and retreat in fear
Never sharing the whispers affection

The whisper fades and drifts away
We doubt it ever existed
The empty loneliness embraced
Loves murmur once again resisted

Nobody
