The Whisper

It was once upon a whisper Which was spoken in all haste Words and feelings drenched in passion None of them were wise and chaste But the whisper was unruly It could simply not be tamed And it did not even bother About the thought who would be shamed As it tore away from reason With sheer arrogance and pride It just dashed away from patience It pushed kindness to the side As it rushed toward its freedom With a tumble and a fall Off to set ablaze the calmness Causing pain and grief for all.
