In the whispers of night, through the howling wind, voices from those passed, invade my world. Chattering amongst themselves, they show no regard for this eavesdropper, who stands smack in the middle of them. Perhaps they do not know I am there. Or perhaps they just don’t care. Listening carefully, I relish their presence. I do not quite understand what they are saying, but I devour every last sound. A gentle tap on my shoulder, a soft whisper in my ear, and I am taken in as one of their own. It was only then I realized, I already was.

Grandeur speaks volumes

When mountain secrets echo

In whispering trees

Overgrown flora adorns this place

Hiding what’s under the cement staircase

No one will journey beyond the gates

Lest they find out what certainly awaits

Dare not, to step on this place of death

Careful! This could mean your very last breath

So many souls are forgotten here

Left all alone, yet you’ll still feel them near

Though emptiness fills this hallowed ground

The spirits still linger, make nary a sound

No need for a raucous, this they well know

Just a harsh, subtle whisper, reveals them so

Listen, do your hear them
The gentle sounds of spirits
Whispering softly
Among themselves
Listen! Do you hear it?

Locked forever in the ruins
Of yesterday’s gone by
Ethereal creatures
On the wisp of a wind
Their voices quietly sigh

Lost forever in this place
Yet, solace do they find
Dancing about
In mysterious ways
Body, soul and mind

Yes, their voices fill the stillness
The gentle sounds of spirits
Whispering softly
Among themselves
Just listen, you will hear it

Washing ashore with the tides

Echoing past time
