Whisper
The gentle whisper
Suggestions of a different direction to take
Nudged towards a new goal
As I inexplicably exert resistance
Whisper to me again
The murmur is too faint
My memory fails
As I inexplicably fall to sleep
The breeze carries the instruction
My ear attuned for a moment
Both the sound and myself cast away
As I inexplicably seek out answers
The silence has volume
Thumps like a drum
I can't hear what I need to over the beat
As I inexplicably age
Maybe the whisper waits for me
Second chances waiting on the wind
As the weight lifts from my shoulders
I am inexplicably no longer left wanting
