Listening to the Night There's wind tonight and stealthy sound, From twigs and dry leaves blowing round. A strange excitement in the air As if there's happenings out there We've never seen, or likely will, Unless the moon decides to spill A flood of light, if clouds will part Long enough to let her start Illuminating field and tree With brilliance, so I can see! I stand beside the open door To listen to the night once more. The sighs and whispers seem to be All sending messages to me, But what they are, I cannot tell, For they've disguised their voice too well. I think that somewhere, years ago, There was a time I used to know, But from that place, I've come too far To now remember what they are!

Joyce: I'm sure you get those "whispering" night winds where you are too. I seem to remember quite a few like that when we lived in Seattle. Thanks for commenting. Betty Lou Hebert |
