The Wind Whispers



The Wind Whispers

Breaking the silence of darkness
just before dawn,
muted whispers call to me,
and I’m drawn once more
to the edge of the day,
that magical canvas
of early morn.

I’m drawn to that place
where the stars still shine
and last night’s moon,
still suspended in a dream,
is but a memory
in these precious moments
before the rising of the sun.

And as this muted darkness
meets the lavish break of dawn
I listen carefully to the wind
as it sweeps across the waves,
welcoming the morning
and heralding the day
as on the brink of this new day,
the same ocean breezes
that cradled my weary soul
and rocked it to sleep
as the day bid good night,
awaken me now
to this day and the dawn.

And renewed once more,
I listen well
to the whispers
of the wind
as I hear them
calling me.

I’m so very glad to see so many of

my MySpace Friends here in this place.


Thanks so much for suggesting it.

I’ve gotten very attached to my friends

there and would be so very sad to lose them.

    I think you can change it in “My Account” under “Choose a Username.” There’s “Full Name” and “Choose a Username.”
