Whispers

Leaning low to softly whisper
wisdom only listening hearts can hear,
leaves lisp lifelong lessons
stored in rings of years.
Centuries of observation -
surging mortals on the move
from the silent moccasins of ancients
to the raucous modern milieu -
captured and absorbed,
in distilled elixir cleansed in nature’s veins,
exhaled by forest giants,
their sage revelations 
of human gain and loss.
