The Weight of a Whisper

A whispered hope, a dream expressed

By Raymond BentumPublished about a year ago 1 min read
a lone figure standing with an outstreched hand

In the stillness where shadows blend,

A whisper stirs, a thread to mend.

No louder than a soft-spun sigh,

It weaves its truth, both low and high.

A fleeting breath, a tender sound,

Yet its echoes ripple, unbound.

Through hearts and halls, its journey takes,

Awakening wounds, or healing aches.

A secret shared in the hush of night,

A fragile seed takes sudden flight.

It bends the will, it sways the strong,

A quiet note in a world of song.

What power rests in words unseen,

In spaces small, where souls convene?

The weight of whispers, light as air,

Can build a bridge, or lay hearts bare.

Between the silence and the roar,

They carve the paths we can't ignore.

A whispered hope, a dream expressed,

Becomes the fire within our chest.

So mind the whispers, soft yet sure,

They shape the worlds we must endure.

For in their breath, a story lies,

A thousand truths in their disguise.
