Member-only story
Surrounded
In silence.
Words said and softly whispered
Messages breathed into my ear
Like lightening lifts my senses
So soft and yet so clear.
A trance of muted syllables
Articulated in song
The words Say Right is here now
And the left has come and gone.
I understand what you are saying
The sounds are symbols too
In hushed tones, you beckon me
Your words I walked into.
They surrounded me in silence
Yet, they had a resonance of their own
I know what you are telling me
I think I’ve always known.
Whisper to me darling
The words I want to hear
And tell them to me softly
Murmured in my ear.
And when we’re not together
The wind can write a message
Across the restless currents
My senses reach the edges.
In the quiet before the dawn
Send me silky undertones
Eclipse my understanding
Float me to unknown zones.
Morning is awakening
Soft murmurs tell me so
Your softly spoken whispers
Tell me all I need to know.
