#Whistper
Our mother called it a gift.
The world casts it a curse and, by now, I've had it longer as a reason to be ostracized than a characteristic that is loved.

#Whistper
I am the heron without a song,
a sentinel of marsh and mist
my silence, stitched by frogs, is older than reeds
older than the moon’s reflection
I keep watch in silver stillness,
my shadow stretched long,
a tender prayer carved into violet water
#Whistper #songbird
It lies inside, this silent #songbird. Buried deep beneath the many masks we wear, it beats its wings, forcing a flutter in the chest, weaving its way up, up to form a living lump in a choking throat.
One day, soon, she'll sing again.
For now, we wrap ourselves in whispers and we wait. #whistper
A grasshopper pauses on a dewy leaf, taking in a bit of sun.
take care grasshopper—
you become one with the leaf
only when you’re still

#whistper #spiral Finally an #artprompt I can participate in!
Why don’t you let me come over and #whistper sweet nothings in your ear?
I don’t know about sweet but nothings is definitely right.
Oh, please, let me come over. I’ll bring you your favorite Vente coffee.
If you put it that way, then yeah, sure. Come on over.

Through the stench, we found a way to a tavern, where it stank slightly less. "Pretty Little Pony" was the name of it. As promised, there were indeed ponies, who were both pretty and little. What I did not expect was to see an old hunter friend. A quail by the name of Tiffany Hightower. #Whistper
