WHISPERS OF THE WIND
If you could see me when I wrote,
When the cool winds shook before they froze,
you would know.
Give me a pound of your measurable love
Maybe just an ounce of it.
Whole winds creep into my room
Even when I think it is insulated
Growing thoughts penetrate into the mainstream
Even when I lock them away into a far away barn.
What I do have to say is usually very brief
But God is testing me by not making me
Get all hope in one go and yet
Not making me lose hope in hope forever.
Trips we made probably were the first time when we ever
Drenched ourselves in cold pneumoniac rain
The rainiest of the clouds floated right into our faces from below us.
People talk of epiphanies but right there
That past is the future that I saw in the present that I felt
When you were with me and my fireflies had a thousand colours.
