Soft Spoken Words

Soft spoken words invite the inner ear, Like gently flowing whispers to the heart Longing touch of whisper'd breath on one’s neck, Or, the sighing of a soft sibilate Speaks emotions even more loudly than A symphony orchestra tuning up, In dissonance before the concert starts Beginning with the booming overture, Fading to the velvet curtain ascend Speak softly so that everyone may hear.
