The wind does not speak
It listens.
The wind can hear every whisper,
Every scream.
The wind can hear every thought,
Every secret.
It listens.
The wind witnesses every heart-felt memory,
Every heartbreak.
It sees.
The wind witnesses every sweet embrace,
Every slam.
It sees.
The wind can hear everything.
And for that reason:
The wind does not speak.
It listens.
