WHISPER

WHISPER

I hear and feel the whisper of the wind
It carries the message that I understand
I know it speaks, yet I’m no wunderkind

Its words are like a billion grains of sand
Flowing past my ears in constant chatter
This is no role in life that I have planned

Some words stick but many others scatter
Those of significance I’ll always remember
A significant few, but most do not matter

Both Spring breezes or gales in November
That meaning burns like a red hot ember
