                                       The song’s breath is stirring the trees,
                                       Scenting the air with their fragrance,
                                       Delivered in the heart’s parlance—
                                       Warming the night this gentle breeze,
                                       Words blowing-in—scents with the winds,
                                       Words of the mind—not of the ears,
                                       Words with the beat that the mind finds,
                                       Those words that nobody else hears,
                                       Words, filling the heart from the skies,
                                       Mixing with a little child’s cries.

                                       Now silence entombs with its noise
                                       And destroys the clouds of rapture
                                       Using the darkness to capture
                                       And plunder joy—this pitch destroys
                                       With new songs—darkening the soul
                                       And throwing debris as it sings,
                                       Spinning the soul an empty bowl.
                                       Darkness—darkness—upon the wings
                                       Stirring the winds tipping the glass,
                                       O’ wind—O’ wind—when will you pass?
