The Voices in the Wind

A presence follows the moon tonight

As the wind tortures the trees

Screams, trapped in yesterday's arms

Can be heard invading the breeze

Tired memories of forgotten pasts

Held captive by the winds

Not caring where they're going to

Not knowing where it ends

Their voices sounding familiar at first

Like haunting recognitions

But the trees can see what we cannot

These devilish apparitions

Nothing more, than whispering death

Cursing their broken dreams

Ancient phantoms, of life long gone

Filled with hollow screams

A presence follows the moon tonight

As the darkness starts to descend

For death itself is trying to speak

Through the voices in the wind

The whispers in the night are tales and wishes of dreams lost and forgotten people. I like the feel create by the poem. A sense of sadness for the voices and spirits that whisper in the night. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
