Whisperings

Through the common crowds you navigate, rapt in the intensity

A familiar speck amongst the magnitude crowd

Striving, pursuing a life to no avail; a mere competitor of time

It moves steadily: stealthily it consumes and envelops you

Can you hear the whisperings?

A reflected image unravels your futile life

Nothing has been spared to gratify your desire for success

An emotional unravelling perplexes and feeds your frustrations

Unhurriedly you peel away each masked, protected layer

There are whisperings

Sifting through alien faces

You fail to attach; you claw

Nothing stirs you now; you're feeling raw, unsure

Your darkened thoughts consumed become fused

Is that a blushing glow you see upon the fringe?

Whisperings, stirring whisperings

Consciousness is shaken; you stumble but do not descend

The turmoil is suspended; you revel upon your unearthing

Your vision is transported beyond the outskirts

You resign, no longer struggle and steadily succumb

Whisperings winds have blown in
