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



Tribute to Octavio Paz "There, within, inside my head, the tree speaks" – The Tree Within

AP: Honorable Mention 2020
