"Whispers..."

I received this poem from my friend Dona a few weeks ago. It's beautiful and reminds me very much of her earlier work.  - poetheart 04/19/02

When you feel the wind
Softly caress your skin
A murmur in the night
Like a loving touch
Upon your face, so light
A kiss, tender, warm and sweet
Maybe it will be:
Across the miles
Into the emptiness
Of space and time
Whispers of love
From me
When you feel the rain
Falling gently from the sky
And it touches you
And wets your cheek
In a message I can’t speak
Raindrops just may be
Falling from my eyes
For so many lies
These unspent promises
Sent quietly in vain
On the wind and in the rain
From the heart
Of me
