Whisper Wind

here I sit, whisper wind
tell me your story
beginning to end
how far you've come
and all the places you've been

here I'll stay, I'll sit, I'll listen
as the day will pass
and nightfall settle in
I will not move or make noise
I will just sit
maintaining patience, maintaining poise

little by little
your wise words sneak in
I unconsciously know the message you teach
before you even begin
but I want to hear your voice
be present and hear your speech

from the dawn of day
to fading evening light
you can speak to me softly
or with all of your might

your message may be clear
believe that I am sincere
when I say
you are the reason I sit  here
all day and all night
