Whispered Shadows
Whispered shadows speak in the dark of night
They whisper words long held close to the heart
Forgotten dreams of hope and love filled light
Lost in time that has kept lovers apart
As tears slowly roll down from red rimmed eyes
Your face appears then fades into the dark
Memories fog and then escape from sight
Trailing the songs of wolves and meadowlarks
On a cold awakening moon stands high
The world is a dark, emotional void.
Stars wink out, disappearing in the blight
Dark thoughts of abandonment are deployed
A voice of joy and hope rises in song
Whispered shadows that flee in fright are gone

ReplyDeleteGreat to see you here, Dave.
Eloquent and so beautiful, Dave. Your sonnet is impeccable, just the right blend of despair tinged with a boost of hope at the end! Love this! :)
