Flight of the Whisper

The silence of restraint,
The suppression of thought,
Locked in diamond,
Words the cords sought.

Escape as a whisper -
The soft explosion of a pin,
Assaulting the harsh earth -
Silent lucidity of sin.

Pursued by resumed silence -
Riding atop the airy ‘tops,
The fearsome steed
Awaiting its master – stops

Arriving forth from his abode,
The horseman mounts.
Branded Regret,
All challengers he surmounts.

The chase begins in earnest
The fugitive craftily evades
The enforcer easily counters
A quest through masquerades

Alas! For it is too late
The rebel escapes into the night
Aeolus the enabler
Aided in this fight

The failed horseman returns
Spirit of the whisper too fiery
It settles elsewhere
Immortal in memory.
