Listening to every heart

It only takes

It only takes the slightest breeze
               To let the cottonwood leaf
                             Float down

Autumn is in her glory
               Now shedding summer’s dress
                             Of spring’s promise

We did not meet
In what was our spring
But found each other,
                                In our summer
               And now, we are autumn, glorious

It only takes
A quiet voice
               Much like a slight breeze
                              To float me down

Much like a cottonwood leaf,
Again

You need not bother
To hear your own voice

It only takes         a whisper.

Very nicely done Sun. Do you hear the
whisper as a gentle zephyr floats over
your mind? As the cottonwood's leaf
falls silently to the ground..

(smiles) Oh Karilea, this is beautiful, sweet friend, may your grandchild always offer you blessings as soft as cottonwood drifting in the wind, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

This poem is very nice, the way the poem is written reminds me of E.E Cumming's Just-
