Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Wind is Never Silent

I listen to the wind as it dries my tears
    because its flowing current is wiser than all my years.
                                            ~ Quote by poet

Wind is never silent, echoing its cries
  It sings in the night to stars in celestial skies
Stories are told upon the rushing wind
  but in the telling, never does it feel chagrined.
Quicker than a heartbeat, it errantly flies.

Across mountain peaks its music is heard.
  In its harmony, I hear every word.
I feel the cold of its temperate sting
  and with its beckoning lyrics, I sing.
When its message touches me, I'm stirred. 

In a gentle voice through meadows, it talks
  I feel like chasing it on morning walks
I'd rise with wildflowers to take flight,
  soaring to the moon at its zenith height,
if I had pinion wings like eagles and hawks.

I listen to the wind as it howls without grace,
  When it blows waves of saltwater in my face.
It speaks of love in such a solemn breath
  In its stillness, I hear it mourning death.
Never, for very long does it stay in one place.

Gotta be a fave, cheers David Lin Lane August 10, 2026 at 3:05 PM How very kind of you to give such merit to these lines, David.
