Whispering Pines

I wrote this on a warm night as a breeze began to rush through the trees I was looking at. I wondered as I looked at the trees , about all the things these trees might have felt and seen.




Across all time
Through
whispering pines
The wind relays her voice


To call to mind
A more ancient time
When she spoke at a slower pace


When these she touched
Enjoyed her more
In the cool ,or a
warm spring breeze

No forward notice
To her arrival at all
Just the comfort of the release she brings


More gentler times
Knew the taller pines
For they have been more frequently so


Touched by her breath
Calmed by her voice
Loved when so gently she kissed.....

I found you there.... Visiting Carnton Plantation here in Franklin I found the name of a confederate soldier from South Carolin...
