Whispered the Wind

A whisper on the wind,

Chanted.

-something changed-

-no longer the same-

I saw her truth.

And nodded.

 

I climbed to the peak,

For the horizon to seek.

as grumbling rocks,

Chanted.

-the wind is afraid,

that something has changed-

And again,

- I nodded.

From still waters I supped.

And the truth met my thirst.

-Yesterday is gone-

-and its memory absent-

Shall we weep for tomorrow?

Or for the past sorrow?

Nay say I

- let us seek out the new-

And a whisper on the wind,

Chanted.

dear Cherry... yes, the Wind has changed our Course...
and all the Butterflies return to their Cocoons over the Moon.

'Nay say I
- let us seek out the new-
And a whisper on the wind,
Chanted. '

Change gallops or stands tethered.. time for decision, for making a choice or choices. Time for restitution, deliverance, emotions coming to life, doubts fading, You, dear Cherrie, have both heart and mind and use them as best friends rather than rivals.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I love that notion of harmony within, blending the two. Creaming the butter and sugar and in the end finding a plate of cookies. Your generous words help find my pen.

Truly don't like confrontations but - there are times when ingredients have to be weighed extra carefully! Yes? Sending hugs over stormy waters,
bribing the sun to try harder!

[William Michael Reeves]

The wind has the truth ? She is the wind? This is some excellent freestyle poetry!! The wind gives us the truth in waters. The waters of life. I feel like the truth is in how we answer the call in the chant. With optimism or pessimism. Then that becomes our truth. The energy we direct. Despite the grumbling around us. This is a really good poem Cherrie!!

[Cherrie Palmer]
