"Whispers"

by: Herman J. Mosteller, Jr.

 

Somewhere in the darkness dwells
The soft melodious drone of words
Be that only which the mind can tell
As they but softly whisper


With times where they may pose
But a soft, alluring, gentle voice
Then change without cause
Into a hideous banter of cruelty


So the thunderous voice of the Gods
Calling forth the damnation of souls
Brings forth then but a whimper
Of a forsaken and tortured nave


As the troubles and joys of ones being
Confined in the fleeting moment of mortality
Cast in the shadows and light of life

Merely Whispers

"Me"
