It’s the whispers from Above.

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Free verse
It's the Whispers...





I will do it in

A whisper, you know

Not with flames, rushing current

Or tremendous winds.

But that whisper turns

Your head and ears.

Curiosity.

Desperation.

Expectant hopes.

Soul hunger.

Yeah, I know you.

Through and through.

And that is all

Stuff burbling inside.

Seeking answers.

So listen up Child:

Bzzzgnarpflubish...Love you.

Get that?
