Whispers of the mind

A poem

The creases on the the sheet,
Speak of the nights unslept.
The dreams and fears that keep you awake.
Echoes of an unseen future,
Echoes from the unforgiving past.

The thoughts that run,
Faster than the soul.
Where from do those deep desires seep?
In seemingly relentless echoes of past,
Slumbered whispers remain awake.

The whispers of the mind,
The whispers of the soul,
They breathe the air of your pains,
Yet wake in fuzzy morning dew
Of hope, peace and love.
