Whispered Flames of Time

Written: January 16, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Sara Kendrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I'm aged echoes utter to unfold, I recall a time that was brief as flame, Humming of lapsed whispers reckon my name, By the warmth of dusk, my soul is consoled; We strive to hold our chisel with each breath, An epic tale where your hoarse dreams run high, You moved into the dimness, morphing sigh, And discovered a gold heart before death; Eternal seas that wash upon the shore, Contain the truths that age shall not disclaim, Each wave a metaphor for life’s acclaim, As tides remind you love is at its core.
