Listen to the Wind

The light of day turned into a dim-lit twilight
where the west wind caressed my aging face
I borrowed time to embrace its warm touch
and listened to the breathless whisper through the trees

Where my heartbeats share the tranquility
And I see the purity of time yield
to the wind that crawls across the meadow
where it washed over each green tender blade
and conquered grass that bent and surrendered
To the west winds howl, and its flowing air

That sails red clouds across the horizon
before the first shimmering gleams of starlight glow
and the soft song of the nightbird is pushed along
like a ghostly call that will haunt my ears

Where I listen to every sound the wind carries
driven quietly away by the westward wind
as it moves across the Earth and Sky unopposed
from the Earth's breath of natural wonder
Where enchantment still lies beyond my realm of dreams
