WHISPERS

Abysmal chirps of insects wild..
Damp hollow voices emanating from a source south...
Mystic shimmers from an ocean tide...
Dowdy, the tunes vibrating thereabout...


Shrill stillness...
The earth thrown into disarray...
Untamed mildness...
Intense spark of incessant sun ray...

Doleful, the wails from the sky...
The abashed sighs of a sage...
Vain melodies ascending up high...
Broken lines, trailing a once whole page...

"To the devil be shame...
Whispers i would love to hear...
Not taints upon a holy name...
The pungent laments of a doomed fair..
