Love Song in the Breeze
You will never know
How the trees whisper when you’re gone
Unless you move still enough to trick them
Only then will they swap wisdoms with the shakes of their branches
And share love notes in the scents of their sap
You will never hold
The secrets of the water
If you cannot give her your full attention
Her secrets carry such nourishment
That only through touch can they all be shared
When the snow falls
And the thunder rumbles
Do you listen for the stories that they tell?
Have you learned from their memories?
The ones carried with them cycle after cycle
Dimension upon dimension
If you hold your ear to the Northern star
You’ll see that when the Universe created conscience
They did not intend to erect such excess
As to cast a shadow over Their own existence
Didn’t expect to have Their name translated so vastly
Yet Their lessons ignored so often
Even so
The Universe continues to tell Their history
And share love songs that we forget to notice
In the whispers of the trees
The secrets of the water
And the stories told by the thunder
