SONG OF THE WIND


Raindrops fall with the beat of

Nature's drum


Leaves twitch and rustle

Dancing to the quiet rhythm


With the whisper of the wind

The song begins


One heard only by the elements

And the animals

And

Occasionally

The solitary

Lost

Wounded

Dejected

And despised


For the thriving populace

With their busy lives

And their endlessly

Essential

Devices

The only sound heard

Is a buzz

A whirlwind

Less a whisper and more

A cacophony


Less a song

And more

A shriek

Echoing their pain and

Emptiness


Raindrops fall

Leaves dance

And the wind whispers its song

To any who might listen

Even

Those unable

Or unwilling
