Night Whispers

"Night Whispers all the secrets day keeps from me." I saw that on a sticker and this acrostic was inspired. Now I lay me In my bed Gentle whispers float in my head Holding tight lips to the day The whispers that flew away. Whispers of secrets Hidden by the daytime sky Intrude my slumber Sliding into my mind Pieces of all the things I missed Ears and eyes absorb it all Round and round they go Shining all the secrets I didn't know.

This poem beautifully captures the mind's nocturnal journey, where missed secrets resurface as gentle, then insistent, whispers. It evokes a sense of nighttime revelation and introspection.

A clever, touching and relatable read - it touches on the undefinable feel and purpose of night whispers. What do they want? What are they saying? Why do they feel as they do? You covered it all ... Goosebumps for me ... CayCay
