Flits And Wisps

Whispering
The shadows shake
But can’t dance
Only flits and wisps

Something rustles above
Without a sound

Hot wind from the floor
Has no warmth
Only flits and wisps

The ghost of a cat rubs my leg
But doesn’t purr

A candle flickers but won’t shine
Lungs inhale
But can’t breathe

Songs without music
Flits and wisps
Lyrics with no words
Flits and wisps
Art without color

A heart filled with passion
A soul wrapped in joy
A body of pure desire

In silence they rattle the cage
In darkness they can only glow
They fly underground

They want permission to play today
Only in flits and wisps
