Notes About The Poem

Listen To the Rustle

lavish tapestry of forest
freed whispers to the wind
seedling bursts of inspiration 
stir me to skip a breath

insight the gift I recognize
hushed voices to my ear
opulence derives from within
as rustle do the leaves

Being a total lover of the woods, this one brought hushed voices to my ear and rather quickly.
