whisper
whisper
your dreams
to
the trees
in
a wooded place
and
sing your songs to the stars
whisper
with the wind
in
an empty place
and
laugh with the shells
in
the sea
whisper
your hopes
on
a night of sorrows
and
set them free
to
a jewel-colored universe
From Nila Webster--"My
beloved mother, wrote this poem many decades ago, and still it shines bright, a
beacon of light for dark times."
I am sorry for her loss, but ars longa vita brevis! What I like about this poem is its flow, and that whispers unite each verse.
