SHADOWS ON A WHISPERED BREATH
Written by FernWithy
As joyous mem'ry wakes my heart
In the gentle glow of morning light
My flesh recalls the night's warm art –
The ecstasy of souls in flight.
Yet deep within my heart's delight
In nightmares I cannot forget
I see shapes of terror, dark alight
And shadows on a whispered breath.
But morning's terrors soon depart
On golden wings, and then the bright
cold day calms even blazing hearts.
But the ecstasy of souls in flight
The day's cold duties cannot blight.
The longing souls seek endless depths
Of diamond pools on mountain sides
And shadows on a whispered breath.
But nightmare years turn bright worlds dark
And war crowds happiness with fright
And calls the fiery sword to guard
The ecstasy of souls in flight
And even so I cannot hide
From dest'ny's fire-rimmed silhouette.
It speaks to me in icy lies
And shadows on a whispered breath
Now the broken, lonely mind
Recalls the ecstasy of souls in flight
To escape from solitude's unremarked death…
...and shadows on a whispered breath
