Not listening
Alone, I heard a whisper
Noising space where only I breathed
I tuned my ears as the whispering came again
Who owns the unseen lips knocking the door of my soul?
I primed my ears, then the whisper came again
Sneaky sound where only I breathed…
It came from inside, my whisper!
I am listening!
