Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

Whisper My Name

If you whisper my name as evening falls
The breeze will carry your smile
The leaves all listen to hear me sigh
From your words that's meant to beguile

The stars look down with an envious gaze
For you shine above them all
Defeated and broken, they surrender the night
As each one begins to fall

The trees begin to bow to your voice 
As it whispers through their leaves
You've stolen the beauty away from the rose
And the attention the flower receives

The other night voices begin to be hushed
Enchanted by the love in your word
Silence now fills the long starless night
When your whispers of love are heard

If you whisper my name as evening falls
The noises will just disappear
For God Himself makes all things quiet
Just to make sure that I hear
