Murmurs, secrets blowing in the air

Whispers, broken words and sighs

A girl succumbing to entreats

A baby wails, the mother also cries

A furious shout of angry fear

Words of burning hatred spoken low

Questions, many answers, many lies

Words to be regretted, but much later

Lovers sharing secrets

Hiding slights

Open windows, all is dark inside

Who says what, who is to hear?

No one knows

Words are flying arrows

Is this the world we know?

Must we await the arrival of the dawn?

Close your eyes, block your ears

Keep dreaming of the fears

Lurking in the lonely night
