The Loud Whisper
In the realm of the hush
At the dawn of the dusk,
Do you hear the swooshing
of the waves on the shore?
Do you hear
the shush of the wind
as it sweeps low and
hisses like the snake
winding through graves
in the quiet of the night?
The fear that reverberates
like the rolling thunder
with each beat of my heart--
Do you hear its silent echo
in the dead of night?
And this full robust moon
with its ethereal silvery glow
spawns what frightful folklore?
Beneath this distant firmament
with its myriad peering eyes
and in this engulfing darkness
where would one finds
a sliver of hope?
