With a Whisper
1 min readDec 18, 2017
as we lie nestled together
under a woven quilt
in the hushed moments before sleep,
silver moon strands spilling
through the curtains
over the calm contours of your face,
and your voice softly recounts
the day that has passed,
I realise I would be happiest
if the inevitable ending of the world
came this way:
not with a bang but with a whisper.
With a hat tip to the great T.S. Eliot.
