WHISPER

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)


If upon
A tomorrow fair
In your mirror
Fixing your hair
Early morning 
Arrives free of cloud
The birdsong
A beautiful sound.

Think of me
Though I have gone
Yet still by your side
You are the one
And good times will
Return one day
Words to echo
Words that say.

See me in
The falling rain
In the gentle
Turning wave
Do not grieve
Nor to fear
A gentle whisper
To your ear.

    I love the sentiment of this one Norman it is romantic in a tragic way with death but not forgetting seen the deceased in nature itself. Quite and melancholic but reassuring. Well composed with good rhyme and flow. A fave my friend

    There’s a damn tender farewell here, with the morning birdsong, rain, and waves becoming ways for the departed to remain present without asking the living to stop living. The ending is gentle rather than sentimental—the whisper in the ear feels like love saying, I’m still with you, but don’t be afraid.

    So you've disappeared waiting for that bus, and have become a whisper?! lol.

    Beautifully written Norman.

    I can detect a little sadness in this but it's certainly not bleak. Awesome rhyme as always.

    What a touching poem, my friend. Grief is here, but love has the stronger voice…continuing quietly through memory and the world around us rather than disappearing with death. Really beautiful, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
