Whispers of My Soul

Oftentimes
since recent past
from across that 
yonder astral plane  
someone whispers my name
over and over again;

In some remote bay 
implacable waves lash
rocky shores with vicious gusto.

A rundown lighthouse,
abandoned and forlorn,
stands steadfast…
      ever vigilant
      ever a beacon 
for the strayed souls.

A solitary flame 
flickers deep down into 
the dark depth of my soul;

These windswept waves whipping the shores
whisper my name over and over again.
