Whispers of Light

Light reflects off the still very wet ground Gorgeous in all aspects, doesn’t make a sound Whispers of light expound the well-worn street Air breathes slight remembrance of a bench seat Whispers heard as reflections of pink light Come crashing through on the wet avenue Softly the man whistles, sweet in the night On the bench seeing the light as his view After a long pause there comes a great sound More tender than forceful this whisper found It’s such a grand feel what’s coming in sight The ever powerful whispers of light Russell Sivey Contest: Whispers Of Light Sponsor: Gail Angel Doyle 2/10/2014

Lovely picture of a sunrise Russell. I particularly liked the line "Whispers heard as reflections of pink light." Thanks for sharing.
