Whisper

110 31 6
                                    

The gentle sound, a steady touch,
serene bliss, a sign of trust. 
Ease my mind, keep it calm
soft like a leaf resting in my palm

carried by the gentle wind.
to deliver soft a whisper to my ear
then in the back of my mind a new whisper comes
this one is not kind, it fills me with fear.

A harsh screech, a forceful grab,
mistrust sets in, no bliss is found
keeps me tethered, keeps me down
like an anchor chaining me to the ground.
