something in the
way that the wind moves
through the leaves of the trees of time
ag         ain
again
the leaves tell of
places and times beyond
of forests and of trees that have
spo          ken
spoken
to those
who knew how to listen
to the stories and the songs of
be         ing
being
among the sun
stretching and reaching to
the sky and to the planes we know
al         one
alone
we learn the way
that stretches out before
our hearts, showing us all that
there is

(smiles) YAY!!! Ooohhhhhh...I love the presentation, sweet friend, the way you shaped the words and brought key phrases together cohesively so very well represents one listening to the wind and finding peace there with the whispers whistling through the ears! (sigh) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

This line is perfect

The whole piece evokes a very introspective mood

Listening is such a neglected skill, and so simple to learn...yep that is all there is to it! Nicely done Sven!

this is superb....strange,  but gives me
the same feeling as listening to the
intro to Star Trek.....Where No Man Has
Gone Before...or words to that effect...

thank you all my friends. . . I've not been feeling well the past couple of days. . . but, seeing your words about how much you like this is always good for a smile. . .

Magnus, that reminds me. . . Star Trek is on later. . . thank you Sir. . .
