When a Whisper is Loud he called out long time coming calling out looking for home called out long continued to roam he called out and was always alone in the alone time he decided he didn't need anyone in the alone time he thought, "I shall never be undone!" but… he called out looked hither and yon he kept calling from dusk till dawn always calling from morn till night somehow couldn't get it right in the alone time he decided he didn't need anyone in the alone time he thought, "I shall never be undone!" but… it was then when he decided to whisper just the once he said the words soft and tender hardly rendered and she whispered back "I heard" and this small act this consequence left him speechless and quite spent he wondered aloud how could it be so she quietly said to he "but it was when you whispered to me" Dumbfounded he was mute his voice and he was left with little choice for all his life he had searched and called and here it was his back to the wall for she had appeared as dreams sometimes do she became real he could hear and he could feel and touch and see and wonder there at when all the while she quietly sat and whispered "I love you" and then he knew and was undone and smiled Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

it was then when he decided to whisper just the once he said the words soft and tender hardly rendered and she whispered back "I heard" This is really beautyful... it is too often that we blaze away like a searchlight, with no chance to see the small but beautyful warm light of a candle... Thanks for this one! Björn |

That whisper will be carried on the winds forever my friend. This was a lovely piece from you and sure to make any man come undone. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
