Voice in the Wind

 

There is a voice
in the wind
so low and distant
it may never be
heard.
 
Most do not listen
being distracted 
by the
drum and scrape of
cities
by the 
lure of 
highways
by the 
distraction of cell phones
and the
seductions and enticements
of life.

The voice does not
address the ear
but the heart.
It is an acquired voice
that is not shy with time
or reluctant to speak
in simple ways
those pompous
lofty hearts
surely miss.

 

But hush.
Be still.
You will hear the voice.
The small and gentle
voice
calling 
calling
inviting you to join your heart
to the horizon
to the endless
shimmering 
horizon.
