I Whispered Your Name

I whispered your name
to the morning breeze
will it come back,
will you hear my voice,
while it cling to an echo... slack?

I whispered your name
every letter spelled
with consonant precision
sound waves, gradients of nostalgia
a verse of love... or elision?

I whispered your name
to the ocean vastness
a rumbling clamor, a cresting plea
seasoned with salt,
salt from my tears... or from the sea?
