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.
