My Whisperer

He comes in the night in the breeze 
Through branches of a cottonwood tree
Faeries travel on his tails, laughing excitedly

I am fast asleep, tight and safe, cuddled in fleece
Having no conscious idea this is where 
He is whispering ideas to me for tomorrow’s poems.

I love cottonwoods too! When I was ten my daddy built me a tree house about twenty feet up in the crook of two cottonwood trees; I have always loved them ever since. This is where I used to read 7 books a day.
