whispers to the wind


listening
hearing the whispers
out of the envelope
that was once sealed
then opened
to hear the words
within the wind
upon every leaf
the words
etched
upon time
telling stories
of years gone by
whispers loud
and whispers low
shoveled to the
envelope of thought
one day to be opened
bye whom you hope
to be whispers
of words
that are spoken
and now
hearing words
thru the wind
if only in a whisper

The wind is howling outside right now. I'm listening carefully, for I'm hoping there is an answer blowing in it.
Bob Dylan was in Denver last week, but I wasn't able to go to his concert, though I heard a whisper that it was excellent.
Keep whispering, Bernie.

(sigh) Oh Bernie, this reminded me so much of the Counting Crows song "Hard Candy", you speak of memories and whispers of the past so well here, this is excellent, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bernie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

What I especially love about this is that your words, because of the structure and specific choices, appear to be 'whispers in the wind' and as I read, I could almsot hear them being recited... I liked it.

Bernie, I could hear your words whispered ever so softly in my mind. It was beautiful. Thanks for sharing your whispering words, sweet Bernie.
