Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

A Whisper Floating On Evening Winds

A Whisper Floating On Evening Winds

I am a mere shadow of Nature's awe
Merest ghost of flesh, of all that I saw
A whisper floating on evening winds
A dreamer, with hopes of what life portends
Yes the truth, a vain example I be
A poor historian, with blinded eyes
A shallow orb beneath wide blue-cast skies
The vessel, container of blessed life
Here in this time, this place, this fleeting hour
I wake, truth seen in Nature's vast power.

I am a mere shadow of Nature's awe
Merest ghost of flesh, of all that I saw

Robert J. Lindley, 
April 17th, 1973

Note:
Dawn spoke, whispering, yes I am to be your friend.
I am to serve you, that may one day never ends.
