Like a Whisper #WonderfulWednesday #Poetry

 

Sacred,

like a prayer

whispered on the wind

it comes!

A dream

now long gone

still haunting my soul-

my heart! 

We danced-

or did we

only imagine

such bliss? 

A kiss?

Surely not

but I’ve forgotten 

that loss.

The cost

much too great

for a passing whim

and yet…

Within,

sweet regret

screams like a whisper

again

Be still

and sleep

while I weep.
