Whispers

By Cheryl Oosthuizen

In whispers of night, your voice I find,

A melody echoing in the corners of my mind.

Though distance stretches like shadows across the land,

Our bond, like a thread, intertwines hand in hand.

Days may drift slowly, weeks may roll by,

Yet your presence surrounds me-a star in the sky.

From dawn's first light to the moon's gentle glow,

I carry your thoughts wherever I go.

In silence, I feel you in moments so still,

In laughter, in memories, in dreams yet to fill.

Though I long for your touch and the warmth of your smile,

In the heart's quiet chambers, you linger awhile.

Trust is our fortress, loyalty our grace,

No distance can dim what we hold in this space.

So even when miles keep us worlds apart,

You dwell in the echoing chambers of my heart.

With strength in the quiet, and joy in the wait,

What we nurture with patience, no time can abate.

So, here's to the bond that no distance can sever,

A love built on whispers, enduring forever.
