Whispers in the Dark

In the stillness of the dark

When all the senses rise to shine

And every nuance of a clear

Subconscious mind is kindled new,

Every whisper becomes thunder

Echoing from bedroom walls

Of darkened canyons cut by glaciers

A hundred million years ago.

 

No one answers when I call;

Not a soul for miles around;

Just the shadow of the raven

Gliding across canyon floor.

 

I search for you to hear my whispers,

Long to find your gentle voice,

Need to feel your heather hair

Brush gently on my waiting skin.

But senses fail me... no response...

Nighttime becomes cold and stark, and

No one's there to quench this thirst

Or answer whispers in the dark.
