Listening

I wrote this after my orchestra exam :)

Listening

listen very closely and
the breath of nature

will cover your ears

from violent tyrants like

thunderstorms who

steal its voice

occasionally

for a different kind

of peace

         the kind where

you cannot hear

yourself think

and people seem to

like loud peace

more, for

reasons understandable

the best things come in

small packages

meaningful thoughts packed into

a unique song of the

wind

quiet peace filled by

wind songs

the peace

which people fear

for while the tyranny

of violent storms

horrify all for their duration

the only thing left

in the aftermath is

the peaceful, haunting

song of the wind
