To Whisper A Name

Poem Commentary

How  the hope of friendship lingers in the heart who has not one, and the thought of leaving this world completelt alone is not a frightning as it sounds. "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"

To Whisper A Name

To Whisper A Name: Drew Lancaster


I believe I would be ready

Should fate take me away

This disease and illness lingers

Only one more task remains


Hoping my strength can hold

The burden heart and mind endure

Seeking a friend whose name

I shall whisper till death secures


The task has proven lengthy

Many too false too know

I see only empty eyes

A lost soul in a lovers disquise


So waiting is my demise

I fear the product one fashions

Claim a name for ill gotten gain

Lonely paid full a debt in isolation


Will be fine by me

My imaginary friend

As death takes us all

What gains a whispered name in the end

An incredible journey of heart rending sadness, seeming to end in resolved acceptance...A well written & moving piece of work!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
