"In silence, the wind shares it's most intimate secrets"--quote by poet. Standing at the edge of a sandy shore Looking out to sea as I listen to Incessant cries of " Come to me, come to me;" I watch the ebbing tide obey the beach wind. Oh, I listen attentively to the wind! In the wintertime, it roars to me..."Stay in!" I hear it whisper it's tightly-held secrets To trees; secrets it rather I keep to myself. The autumn wind is music to my ears; It ever so gently tinkles the wind chimes Hanging above my head in the balcony. My spirit dances with abandon to its song! Knowing the fiercely blowing wind carries Their wondrous songs far, nightingales and robins Cheerfully tweet out their best at daybreak. Birds do listen to the voices of the wind. Pelicans migrating south at summer's end Hear the whirling wind whisper..."Bon Voyage" Out in nature, I love listening to the wind.
