What Is In a Whisper
There’s a whistle in a whisper
secrets longing for the listening ear,
the rush of wind leaving lips
parting to make merry.
There’s a hiss in a whisper,
something hateful that cannot
be said aloud because of its
heinous aspect.
There’s a wish in a whisper,
the expression of suppressed
desire that cannot be screamed
but only half silently spoken.
There’s magic in a whisper
if it carries the words
of love, understanding or
forgiveness.
