Your Whispers Linger

Your whispers 

No longer

Touch my ears

But my soul

Can still hear

What you said

Your whispers

Still don't know

That you're dead

They linger

In your stead

I have many people whispering to me. They demand my attention in my dreams. I understand the thoughts and the logic of the poetry my friend. Maybe the whispers. Reminders. We touched kindness once. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
