We Who Whisper

we who whisper...
with our feet as we walk,
with our eyes turned inward,
with our bodies that weep.

we who weep...
with hands that tremble,
with quiet desperation,
with our prayers that build.

we who build...
with the ruins of our loss,
with our spirits broken,
with our hearts that bleed.

we who bleed...
with our trials and mistakes,
with our failures to reach,
with our love that whispers.

we who whisper...
