It Begins as a Whisper

Poem : It Begins as a Whisper

It begins as a whisper,
A promise
a whisper that rings in the forthcoming decades
again and again,
The message of thy Lady Love.

A whisper that brings in a smile
vanishing thy sorrow.
A whisper that sheds thou tears
that thou love cannot borrow.

That whisper, that promise became wind
moving through her hair.
As gently as a lover's hand.
A wind -
dancing through
thousands of whispers
in this garden of Eden
promising thou love
love so eternal
that continues
Till the heavens above.

By Tirthankar Baisya
