Your whispers <br /> <br />Soft, quiet, strange <br /> <br />They haunt me in the night <br /> <br />Like an arrow in the wind <br /> <br />They are alive <br /> <br />They gather ‘round about me <br /> <br />‘til I heed them <br /> <br />As my heart leaps with symphony <br /> <br />Of hope and faith <br /> <br /> <br />Your breath <br /> <br />Soft, quiet, strange <br /> <br />Chasing chances, tossing coins <br /> <br />Like an arrow in the wind <br /> <br />They pray and plead <br /> <br />They rally ‘round about me <br /> <br />And I have faith in them <br /> <br />Though they seemed faithless, sometimes <br /> <br />I believe as my heart leaps <br /> <br />With a joyful melody <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />They are alive! They are alive! <br /> <br />Look inside my friend, you are still alive! <br /> <br />Sigh and breathe! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />See and believe!<br /><br />Bernard Jess Sagpang<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-a-dying-friend/
