John Posey Poet Rhyme

A Voice In the Wind

Far above a timbered valley --
High up on a mountain peak --
The beauty of the day surrounds me
As I listen to the breezes speak.

Serenity caresses my soul --
Gentle winds tune each leaf they touch --
Until a symphony is heard
By senses not attuned to such.

I question the source of this artistry.
And, as resonant chords the winds pursue,
Lyric breezes sing their songs
And flood my mind with thoughts of you.

So, I listen for a voice in the wind --
As I wait for your spirit to pass by.
When I reach for a hand meant for me
The spell is broken by a sigh.

Roy Jerden March 30, 2013 at 7:33 AM I think this might be the first of your I have read, John. Every syllable sings! The rhythm is excellent and the length is perfect - long enough to set up the theme, develop the thought, and end just right. Going in my fav's! Congratulations!
