WHISPERS IN THE WIND

THE WEARINESS OF LIFE HAS NO WILL,

NEVER TO DENY THEIR PLEASURES IN THE

FRESH AND SIMPLE MORNING LIGHT.

LET THE WINDS AT DAWN THAT ARE BLOWING

FROM YOUR FINGERTIPS FALL,

RINGING IN COMPLETE DELIGHT,

AND IN LOVING SO ALL THE MOODS

IN YOUR CHANGING FACE THAT

GLITTERS FROM THE MOONLIGHT

AND FLASHES INTENSE BENEATH THE

MYRIAD STARS AND THEN GLOWS

HAPPY IN YOUR SAD EYES.

AS THE AFTERNOON CLOUDS ARE

IN DARK MASSES

SPREADING BEFORE MY EYES,

THROUGH THE ENDLESS PASSAGES OF LIGHTS,

WHERE THE HOURS ARE SO BRIEF

IN THE WINDS WHISPERS FADIND

FADING INTO...

THE PRUSSIAN BLUE SKIES.

HOW MANY OF US HAD LOVED

YOUR BRIEF MOMENTS OF RADIANT AND

OPEN GRACE,

AND ALSO HAD LOVED THE SORROWS

OF YOUR CHANGING FACES

AND YOUR WORLD IS SO SILENT

AND MUTE UPON ME

UNCONFESSED TOO AS

THE MESSAGES BEHIND

YOUR EYES.

Dorian I enjoyed this poem very much. You hit right on the head what love is. Love is a hard thing to write about in one way and in another way it is so easy. Love has many different sides and we all look at it differently. Thank you for sharing with all of us. God bless you.
