The Whispered Call

With darkened soul
   leaded feet ascend
     cold marble slabs
       Just a little farther...
         comes the whispered call

Tired lungs and clouded eyes
   exit past plush red velvet ropes
     come closer, come closer still...
        comes the whispered call

Sweat slick hands grasp
black varnished rail
Look down, look long...
comes the whispered call

Muscles strain and tighten
heels raise above the floor
Relax... Let go...
comes the whispered call

The heart spills pain
thoughts of family cling
Sleep...Sleep now
went the whispered call.
