Time’s Quiet Whisper

 


I whispered forever at the dawn’s pale light,

Believing our love was steadfast, sure, and right.

Yet time’s soft whisper carried me away,

And all my fervent hopes dissolved in gray.


I see your visage in each vacant room,

Your voice, a faint echo that haunts the gloom.

I counted days, but love is a fragile bloom,

Its petals falling in the hush of gloom.


Could I have held you through one final night,

Or seized the dawn before it slipped from sight?

The last “I love you” lingers in my mind,

A tender ache that shadows all I find.


The children’s laughter drifts like distant song,

Reminding me how swiftly time moves on.

The dreams we forged now specters, pale and long,

Fading to whispers where memories belong.


I missed the signals my own heart declined,

Ignored the fractures, the fissures left behind.

Now every moment weighs with borrowed breath,

A love once ours, now silent, veiled in death.


Yet in my soul I glimpse a quiet grace,

To pardon, release, and find a rightful place.

Not to reclaim what time has swept away,

But to honor love in each unfolding day.


And in the end, I pray we come to see

That mercy and tenderness set the spirit free.

Beyond the sorrow, beyond the ache we bear,

The world still thirsts for hearts willing to care.


Though time may seize what we hold most dear,

Love’s enduring power conquers doubt and fear.

Let us forge a world where hearts may unite,

In hope, in compassion, radiant and bright.
