Whispers Beyond the Hollow Veil

 

The night withdrew its sullen breath,

And left me wrecked in shadows deep,

A silent hush—communion’s death—

Where none may stir nor solace keep.

Gone—the voice that once was near,

Now swallowed by the endless grave;

No whisper drawn to pierce my ear,

No light to heal, none left to save.

Between the worlds I stand alone,

A ghost in sands of time bereft,

For grief has sealed my fate unknown—

In silence bound, forsaken, left.

Yet somewhere ‘yond death’s silent shore,

A faint pulse beats—a glimmered call;

But I am lost forevermore—

Incommunicado with the pall.
