It carries the voices
Of souls cast aside
Spirits, now fallen
In a timely suicide
We watch as they spiral
Then die, one by one
Detached and free falling
Under October’s sun
Yet, they fear not their destiny
As they whirl and they soar
Swept away, once again
With the wind’s mighty roar

In the wee hours, she is awakened by three distinct knocks. Glancing at her husband, she scowls at him. He is blissfully sleeping. Something is wrong. He’s usually the one who hears the noises. But not tonight. Tonight, only she is summoned by the hidden ones, who rustle you from a deep sleep, then disappear. Will they knock again?
Silence returns her to her journey back to dreamland, until, a whisper in the dark reminds her, not tonight. Tonight, she is the one who must answer the call. Disturbing no one, she gets out of bed, dons her robe and disappears into the darkness. Cursing under her breath, she closes the bedroom window, reminding herself to tell her husband to cut the branch that keeps knocking against the pane, when it dances with the wind.

I want to float on the wisp of a cloud
Listen to the wind as it roars out loud
Feel the heat, from the rising sun
Inhale, the presence of day begun
Lie awake, in a field of flowers
Sit and consider nothing, for hours
Relax, and let the silence grow
Exhale, and let my spirit flow

Shadows wake in dark of night
Storm clouds carry on, in flight
I long to feel the winds that blow
Allowing my spirit to overflow
With thunder claps and lightning flashes
The beauty of the storm surpasses
What I could only dream to be
A tempest, flowing wild and free

My spirit soars in the whispering breeze
And calms my soul, among forest and trees
The rustle of leaves as they try to take flight
Reaching up to the sky full of heavenly light
Surrounds me with comfort, one with the air
Awaiting the moment, feeling you there
Capturing my heart, once again, as you go
The wind, and my feelings, the ebb and the flow
