Whispers Beyond Midnight

In the hush of night,
your memory drifted toward me like a slow, familiar breeze;
the wind spoke your name softly,
carrying echoes of moments we never learned to forget.

Shadows on the wall trembled,
as if they recognized your presence before I did;
and in that tender stillness,
I felt the rhythm of footsteps from another time,
gentle, uncertain, yet moving closer.

Every heartbeat rose like a quiet confession,
reminding me how some connections never fade,
they only rest in silence
waiting for the night to call them back again.

The night does have a way of calling back memories from the past, the rhythm of footsteps from another time. I enjoyed reading this very nicely written piece, Allison, and I wish you a belated welcome to PS. John
