When the wind carries secrets
Choose not to listen
The gust likes to gossip
And the dew loves to glisten
It'll whisper in your ear, a smile on its face
While lies slip between its teeth
You'll start to listen and realize
There's no truth beneath
It'll whisk you away to a perfect world
Blinding your sense and sight
You'll come to love it
But the darkness looks like light
You dance with memories
And eat with your past
Read stories to your dreams
But the words do not last
You hear voices you used to know
And recite names you loved
You'll wish you saw the danger
Before you were hurt, and shoved
Right into the middle of it
You won't realize until it's too late
The risk has been taken
You can't go forward, you must wait
So the wind will carry secrets
The waves will always call
And the sun will remind you
That you were meant to fall

Great poem…really enjoyed this one. Well done!
Thank you Fränz! I really appreciate your comment!
There are voices in all things if one listens carefully enough. A lovely write nicely rhymed and metered.
Very true Soren, thank you!
You are most welcome Allie
Beautifully ominous, Allie...I love how something as gentle as wind becomes an unreliable seducer here, offering comfort and familiarity while quietly leading somewhere dangerous. That final turn toward being “meant to fall” leaves quite the chill behind. Powerful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
I’m really glad it had that effect I wasn’t really sure where I was going with it!
You are welcome, my friend. I hope all has been well! ❤️
