Whisper

gold wheat gathered red wine bottled rocking by crackling fire heart starts a song at a name it recalls snow tears on city lights falling a whisper once loved through cracks in the door beat of a heart now drumming restless and torn by rosebud crumb once in green meadow now in a mall moonlight curtained by strobe lights frenzy gadgets to distance romancing four seasons dimmed by two dark emotions summer red anger hubris ice silence easter bells ringing joy of forgiving grace melting heart to tearing breaking new day new season colors meadows in flower rose buds in love Tenth Place Winner: Brian Strand-Your Choice E -3/26/25 Ninth Place Winner: Brian Strand-You Choose-2/26/24 First Place Winner: Brian Strand Contest-7/8/21
