wind night

this tree is moving

you heard it

stood there in the dark

senses rustle

like leaves

and with them

your heart

falls

to the beat

of the wind

beating down

 

does wind know

down

or does it just go?

direction is different

when you are

air flow

time does not

pass

you as wind

carry it

to the ground

 

water

it rolls

on my tongue

as i write

from water i fall

waves of my sound

rhythm

of heart

and of feet

kissing down

each time

they fall

like leaves

at night from this tree,

we make the same sound.
