Vagrant Sounds

Latent night mixes the muse of the wind
Heavy with the burdens of un-cried tears
Welling ever so softly, as “almost” becomes a battle song
Stirring the voices of green heron and chippy wings
Woodland smells surface to trace their own breath
Suddenly burst forth, releasing to hopeful blades of new grass
Peace befalls my ears in familiar language, the trees and I
Watch intently the vagrant sky, moving arms of cloud pillows
Swept into haunting billows that perhaps are lingered dreams
Of night birds, calling out in wistful sighs of nocturnal lies
Spoken to be forgiven, remarkable is given name
Just the wind, in vagrant sounds stir just the same

loved the feel of this one...its closeness to nature...the title alone was so cool...loved this line best of all:

"Of night birds, calling out in wistful sighs of nocturnal lies"
