RESTLESS WHISPER

 

A pulse that drums beneath the skin,

Upon the echo of some distant call.

The heartbeats race, a wild dance,

While silence settles like a pall.

 

Each corner turned, each path unknown yet stills,

No solace in soft faces.

The stars are bright yet far away,

Like hopes that flicker, fade, and swell.

Each twinkling light a whispered wish,

A story only time can tell.

 

Still, I wonder, O restless soul,

With questions swirling in the air.

A search for something just beyond,

A peace that feels so far, yet near.

Oh restless heart, why do you ache?

What shadows haunt your endless quest?

Perhaps in this wild, nameless chase,

You will find that stillness lies in the rest.
