Whispers

Whispers take the night away

         sailing to my ears

Softly saying "Please come close --

         Let me rest your fears"

Whispers are your gentle hands

         from toe-tips to my eyes

Hands that heal a thousand cares

         and turn them into sighs

Whispers are the touch of souls

         echoing through time

Sharing music once again

         in joy-and-sorrow rhyme

Whispers are the sounds of Love

         from lips and hands and soul

Whispers take the night away

         --- let the whispers roll
