Listening to every heart

Linger a Little More

Shadows be my beckoning call
through a door, down misty hall
beseech me to look o'er wall,

But looking o'er I cannot bear,
though voices faded do I hear
sounding close and full of cheer,

For beyond impenetrable wall
I would heed the shadowy call
to see the faces, loved voices all.

Would had I but known
though life's forces shown
through yon past's door,

I would not have flown
so high, so long gone,
but have lingered a little more.

Age be wise to one still fair,
knowing now how much I dare
to revisit the past, 'tisn't fair…

To not be able to once again hold
the people that were true gold
for they are now beyond old.

Heart be broken o'er words unsaid
yet they fill this empty head
some days, I would be lead…

Would had I but known
though life's forces shown
through yon past's door,

I would not have flown
so high, so long gone,
but have lingered a little more.

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.
