Whispers ~ sonnet

 

 

 

In clustered whispers lost loves still echo

on flights of fantasy they dance in dust;

spent kisses softly drift and wisely know

that see-saw winds blow tides of wanderlust.

 

They talk in tongues and cling but to their own,

a secret haunting language of romance;

in woven, wistful webs they sing alone

maybe in time I too will sing perchance.

 

For now the winds are thread with springtime song,

young love must bloom and grow as is its way;

new mem’ries still awake stay sweet and strong

yet whispers will come soon to steal away.

 

Ah, this is life and love which never dies

but gathers up and whispers in the skies.

Dear Stella
A stunning sonnet if lost loves turn into whispers in the dust…and carried with the winds these are fading memories over time.. yet new love is like spring … the. New lives carries winds that will nourish the earth into blooms…. And so it goes round and round… old and lost life withers and new life and love begin…
Lovely!🌷🌷
Warmly
