A Night of Whispers

A Night of Whispers

I’ll keep you here,
In my twilight age.
Just as the day of my life,
Fades into the night of my coming years.

I’ll save you a place,
In my sleepy heart,
Where you can rest.
And leave your troubles at my door.

Keep still,
And I will tell you a secret.
I’ll show you my soul.
It’s a little beaten, it’s a little bruised,
But it really likes the looks of you.

Lets stay right here,
And you can hold on to
That story in your eyes,
As it tells me all I need to know,
About the adventures of me and you.

Don’t speak too loudly,
You’ll scare it away.
This tentative, new born connection.
Whisper gently in my ear,
Or it might fly away again.
