Whisper
By Marsha Marie
long ago
too far now
just a memory
is it fair?
a unknown voice says, yes
wish i were there to keep you warm
to heal the scars time has scattered between us
again i feel i have hurt you. i cannot reach.
if only i could hear you whisper my name.
a gentle breathing of our love into existence.
a tender touch to the face
a gentle kiss of remembrance
but silence is deafening
and distance agony
a reminder of the judgment called down from high
youth trampled and left us searching
but we shall never find
…….we shall never find
i concede oh great prophets
you have won this round
but in the shadows i will continue to whisper his name until my dying breath….
“daniel, i love you”
THAT they can never drown.
