A Whisper

A whisper inside
As light as a feather
As light as a candle
As bright as its fire
Its core is as blue
As a sorrow
Is as dark
When the breath
Takes it away
That the sun
Brings back tomorrow
In the feather of a bird
Of his wings wide open
In the whisper of the wind
He sings triumphantly
Beckoning only
What he knows is beauty
His song
Soaring onto ears,
Making wise of their years
Until the moon gives hope in darkness
A whisper inside
As light as a feather
As light as a candle
As bright as its fire
Its core…
