Fearful Voices in the Wind
Fearful voices in the wind
or is the dread in the one who hears
solitude, yet creeping in
personification of one's sin
But the abuse could be on both sides
to those whispery ones comes a silence
shivering their otherwise
cheerfulness, a ghost arrives
Peace or ruckus piercing both
and indecipherable which suffers most
About this poem
This is a take (a la Emily Dickinson) on an overheard disturbance or conversation from someone alone and perhaps secluded and the perceptions that may arise.
