Shadows in Darkness Whisper
ⓒ Olan L. Smith, 8-5-2024
Wisps, shadows in the darkness of Void's null,
Are reminders of ourselves. Ghosts that
Haunt the night, while invisible whippoorwills are
Sprites who sing odes deep into the hollow night.
Sing your song of us, Will-of-the-Whisperers.
Exclaim! Once we were here, we existed.
Take them down the lanes of bygone eras;
Show them us, hidden in the peripheries.
Rest your eyes for a night's sleep; your ears will
Hear us ask, "Look! There in the shadows,
Out of sight, on the edges of time's wantonness.
Yes, look behind the curtain below the hem.
The dead walk down bygone paths into Void's
Deepest memories, onward, just out of sight.
The shadows in the darkness whisper for you.
