Whispers Samples | clayremington

I heard your song

solitary in the void of night

rising above the wind

like hope

Persistent and desolate

it beckoned from my window

and coursed away into the darkened, stifling hills

I mourned the world’s deafness

and dreamt of an answer

But the melody was intended not for me

Now with your companion

from a swaying and lofty perch

your songs are for the multitudes and the days

Yet I listen still

longing from my soul

to answer

Welcome sorrow

Descending in damp cascade

Laid bare

by inescapable limitation or unscrupulous fate

My choice and consequence

Bitter curtain and blinding light

A clarifying coincidence

for the illusion of dominion

and the rawness of passion

With pretense torn away

I know, perhaps only in this moment

that I love

Unsearchable meaning

Merciful

yet groped for, unyielding, and only revealed in its time

cannot concern me

We answer for now

with our arms around each other

And our eyes on you
