Whisper's

WHISPER’S

April rain fell like whispers on grass,
Soft and light like a half felt apology.
Dark clouds wafted overhead in shamed silence.
Distressed by a cold winter’s return. 
Daffodils wept and bowed in fading despair,
My Father’s favourite plant was slipping away. 
As my Father had done and now my Mother too
Lost to a world of cold whispers and sorrow. 

Dead flowers I had placed on their grave so light
Were fading like a memory, a star un-bright.

Still the rain whispered but failed to cleanse,
The grit of sorrow that inhabits my heart.

I love the way you write, so far I noticed all your poems are about Mother Nature' ... this poem is deep and sad.... and still comes out with hope at the end. Much sorrow, can pour many rains.... enjoying all your poems so far. I have a few more to go. Hope you do not mind that I have enjoyed all your poems, and I have marked you as a favorite poet. always~ Linda
