The Winds Whisper

The winds whisper

As she walks through the forest

They whisper a familiar phrase;

Don’t go, you’ll miss us, at least you have a family

The girl pleads with the trees, she argues with the creatures

But they all sing the same familiar phrase;

Don’t go, you’ll miss us, at least you have a family

But she cries back an awful, dreadful phrase;

I need to go, I won’t miss you, I don’t even have a family anymore.

But the willows would weep, the oaks they would sob, so don’t go along

Said the big, bold sycamore tree

The girl ran down the path, tears forming in her hazel eyes

The winds whispered their familiar tune once again,

A last shot at keeping the girl before she ran away

And never be seen again.

Don’t go, you’ll miss us, at least you have a family

But she didn’t listen this time, and ran all the way home

Until she didn’t run anymore

Because she had no home

She had no family

She had no one to run to,

So she ran to nowhere

Ran to the edge of earth, and finally stopped when she realized:

She had nowhere to go,

Nobody to run to

And so she sat in the grass, letting the wind take her by

And then the winds whispered their familiar tune that she was so used to;

Don’t go, you’ll miss us, at least you have a family

And this time, she listened to their familiar call;

And so she stood her ground, looked up at the sky

And she cried her abnormal cry:

Come get me, I need you, I won’t leave this time- I have you guys as a family

And the winds listened as they picked her up

Up into the clouds, where she had somewhere to go,

She had somebody to run to,

And the winds whispers their familiar tune:

Don’t go, you’ll miss us, at least you have a family.
