In this haunting free verse poem, ‘The Shadow’s Whisper’, we are invited to explore the enigmatic world of shadows during autumn. The imagery of falling leaves and the golden hues of dusk symbolizes the mysteries that lie beneath the surface, prompting us to reflect on what lurks in our own shadows.
The Whispers of Autumn
In the gentle dance of fading light,
Where leaves like embers take their flight,
The air is crisp with stories untold,
As nature dons her cloak of gold.
Where leaves like embers take their flight,
The air is crisp with stories untold,
As nature dons her cloak of gold.
Beneath the boughs where shadows play,
A tapestry of dusk and day,
The rustling leaves, a soft-spun song,
Remind us that we’ve all belonged.
The sky a canvas, brushed with fire,
Calls forth the heart to dream, aspire,
For in this fleeting, sacred space,
We find our peace, our warm embrace.
So let us wander hand in hand,
Through fields of dreams, across the land,
Where autumn whispers, sweet and clear,
In every breath, love lingers near.
As we traverse through life’s ephemeral moments, ‘The Shadow’s Whisper’ reminds us that every shadow holds a story, every rustle carries a secret. In the simplest of autumn whispers, we find an invitation to listen deeply – to our environment, to our hearts, and to the echoes of existence.
