“Whispers in the Wind” by Karen Zehnal

 

The invitation wafts gently

In the cool autumn breeze

Floating lightly as the leaves

Twirling, lifting, dancing on air

Playful as the laughing children

Skipping happily along the lane

 

Oh, to frolic with them 

In nature's world of delight

To feel one's wistful senses

Surrender to the gentle pull

Joining in the heartfelt music

Held in the whispering wind
