heard from far off lands
Whispers,
Whistled;
Shrill and strong, over seas and waste lands it blew
Escaping lips of varied colors, freed and festered by diverse tongues
Whispers colored, brightly colored and garbed in white
Heard by ears full of bristles, each tingles and spread ever so wide
Soaking it all up like a sponge
Yes! Every bit of the uttered word whispered
Whispers,
which travels fast
On feet nimble, gamely yet never hurried
Whispers,
Once set, never looks back at the past
Whispers,
Rustling every tree top, clinging to every reed and cliff
Silently,
It is let fly
To scurry amongst hearts, pinging ears in a hurry;
Before it is passed on by impatient lips, parted with relish
and a smirk of the after-taste savory
Whispers,
Nurtured at night and birthed in dark and rancid places
Looking to be adopted and cherished like blossoming flowers
Whispers
Hot and cold
Once birthed
Ever so hard to bury.
