Whispers (2001)A Poem by Leon Gipson
The wind whispers and I listen
As my essence begins to quiver Sweet rhapsodies I declare Found not elsewhere Only in nature they do christen. The wind whispers and I follow
Where I go, I know not Why I go, I only listen Daring not to question why Fearing the rhapsodies hollow. Ever so clear was the path
Marked with knowledge past Only now caverns deep To which those rhapsodies seep Gone are the fires of wrath. Great the unknown sought
Seeking solace in places so rare Trudging forward in elements foul Thoughts like labyrinths twisted What have these rhapsodies wrought? Turning here, turning there
The wind whispers and I listen A sweet rhapsody to follow No matter where Only my soul to bare. Be it may, be it might
Tossed and turned by a fall Trying to comprehend it all And, if the rhapsodies for naught Find myself rather contrite. © 2008 Leon Gipson |
