Teach Me to Whisper

Teach Me to Whisper

In the still, quiet dusk

Of the sun's fading stare

A myriad of secrets

On sweet scented air.

A family of midges

Abuzz with delight.

Their motionless swarm

Humble glints of twilight.

Colorful ladybugs

Calling their young.

Voiced in pure honey

A sweet mother tongue.

The royal queen bee

Sits atop her throne,

Passing out justice

To an unruly drone.

The spider, this eve,

Spins iridescent strands

From grass to grass

Revealing her plans.

Daisy and Primrose

Lean petal to style.

Dream of great beauty

A lily in the Nile.

Above all the hum

Of the kingdom below,

The majestic Monarch

Glides to and fro.

She visits each one

At the grand close of day.

With inaudible whisper

Makes each one to pray.

Thanking God for the beauty

That inspires their song

And the hope on the morrow

To sing it as strong

Oh fair wingéd creature

If the morrow be crisper

Alight on my soul

And teach me to whisper.
