Whisperings

Shhhhhhh!

 

We often speak in whispers

For many different reasons.

Like the undertow of ocean tides,

Or the passing of the seasons,

We seek to go unnoticed,

Though the subtlety we seek

Is a beacon drawing notice

Like the sun upon a peak.

 

Shhhhhhh!

 

There is a bit of gossip

Meant for only certain ears.

There are some thoughts when said out loud

Will amplify our fears.

There are some times when courtesy

Demands a lower voice,

And so we speak in whispers,

Not from pressure,

But by choice.

 

Shhhhhhh!
