POETRY

Like Whispers in the Wind

Forever woven through our heart

While the morning sun brings golden light
to yellowed leaves about to fall,
there’s a subtle knowing
like whispers in the wind,
a fleeting poetry of realization
with hints of meaning
so profound there are no words,
a sudden intuition bringing inspiration,
while all the moments vanish
like shadows in a mist.

Intuition,
a fleeting moment of beauty
like the sudden, transient harmony
of wispy cloud on a windy day,
is the whispered breath
of the universal,
an intelligence everywhere
transforming into life,
a cosmic jazz
becoming biochemistry
and human form,
a hidden symphony
of light and meaning
somehow touching all our lives,
somehow weaving all experience
into everything that is,
while time just slips away.

We’re born
into the mysterious soul
of the universe,
and when we pause
from all the usual tasks of everyday,
and listen to the silence in our heart,
while moments stream and slide
over coffee and the latest news,
we might find
this eternal conscious soul
inside us,
a gentle knowing
like whispers in the wind,
while the morning sun
brings golden light
to yellowed leaves about to fall.
