I Stand, I Whisper

I stand on a world
Composed of sand.

And build golden steps
Hand in hand.

I wonder about blossoms
Tucked into windows
And jump many chasms
Shunned into bellows.

I climb the mountains
High and tall
And sip from the fountains
All and all

The water is refreshing;
Brisk and pure
So it’s resetting
Bringing love so sure.

I gaze over the rooftops
Of those many cities
Behind those eyes tired
The snow ever flurries.

I sit atop clouds
Pondering when to rain
Where the world shrouds
Yet feels no pain.

And so I go whisper
Never so silent
“How does the wind blow
Ever so violent?”
