Poem #11

I listened to the wind
It told me many things
I felt its power grow
And fill myself with thought
And add to what I know.

I listened to the wind
I felt it in my mind
I did not close my eyes
For fear of losing grasp
On what I felt inside.

I listened to the wind
I never had before
Its voice was not my own
It sounded of my past
A deep resounding moan.

I listened to the wind
For any sign of life
For any graceful word
Or any piece of earth
Remember what I heard.
