There’s no need to raise your voice here. You don’t have to convince anybody of anything, and you don’t have to attract anyone’s attention
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
I hear you,
whisper
in the long grass
and in, the reeds
along, the banks.
I hear you,
whisper
in the leaves, of the
trees
and (in) the beards of those
who ride long,
and hard.
I hear you,
whisper
in the (endless) night,
when the stars,
fall,
and (yes)
I hear you, whisper
when you, are
gone.
whisper
This week, my poetry prompt is only a whisper
Whispers of grass, whisper of words — wonderful imagery.

Oh god, I am in love with this piece. It takes me to a different place, makes me feel safe and loved. I know it’s weird, but some poems have that warmth and I think this one does too. 🙂

Beautiful!
I’ve run out of energy, lately, and so it’s been taking me longer to get through my list of what needs to be done. I wrote a poem, this week, that combines the “Smile” and “Whisper” prompts. I hope that you will enjoy it! http://wp.me/p5BCD4-w2
