I heard the clouds cry out your name
I saw the stars dim in the sky
and felt the tears that heaven rained
when you said good bye.
It was almost a whisper...
the stirring of the trees
with morning's first breath.
The echo of a thousand wings
an angel's flight
that lifted you
beyond my reach
forever.
The sound of empty rooms,
unopened doors
reminders of another time
another place
and you.
It was almost a whisper...
of leaves fluttering
in an autumn breeze
grass bending in the wind
the kiss of dew upon the ground.
I turned around
and you were gone...
in a whisper.
