| Whisperings sifted by the wind |
| materialize by my ear |
| and beckon to me to "come hither," |
| to follow their spidery paths |
| to places I've long forgotten but never been- |
| save in the eyes of my imagination. |
| And there beneath the rosebushes blooming, |
| hidden among a promise of eternity, |
| and protected by innocence long lost- |
| I will find you, |
| embraced in safety, |
| My Love to hold and cherish forevermore. |
