Walking slowly, stopping often,
under the green canopy
of these familiar woods.
I'm listening to the quiet.
Waiting for inspiration.
Absorbing secrets from the land.
Then a subtle breeze
begins to whisper words
I try to understand.

The wind,
growing in the needles
of the White Pine,
amplifies its voice
from a whisper
to a song.
A canticle carried
softly into my mind
on invisible currents.
A woodwind section
playing ambiance
in the upper branches.
