Whispers were unraveled
In that city by the lake
Whispers torn away by the wind
"Don't whisper into the wind,"
You had warned me
But now it's too late
All the whispers are gone
Taken by the wind
And fed to the
Swimmers of the stars
Gobbled up,
Never to be seen again
"Are the whispers gone forever?"
I had asked when I told you
Of my folly
"No," you had said
"The swimmers eat
The whispers and give
What's left back to the wind."
I had stared at you in wonderment
And you had said,
"When you hear the wind
Listen closely. You may hear
What you had whispered."
I listen, now, to the wind
And wait to hear the
Whispers that were unraveled.
