A Distant Whisper Poem Verses

In the quiet hills, a longing sigh,
For one we've lost, to time's swift tide,
A love now missed, as days grow long,
A distant whisper, a haunting song.

I miss their laughter, their warm embrace,
The memories shared, in this sacred place,
Yet in my heart, their love remains,
A distant whisper, through joy and pain.

In whispered prayers, I'll find my peace,
A love unbroken, a bond that's ceaseless,
My dear one, forever near,
A distant whisper, undying, clear.
