a whisper in your ear

you leave a whisper
in your ear.

the soft curl of warm words
left
behind

when love
was new. when the world
was kind.

you listen to it
every now and again.

picking up a white shell
in the sand,

but it fades and fades

as you walk
the violent shore,

bracing yourself
against the wind of time.
