Wind in the Trees

I sleep deeply
gone to visit
other worlds
the wind rustles
the spring trees
curtains move gently
at the open window
suddenly I am awake
I hear the subtle wind
I want to wander barefoot
out in the soft breezes
whispering in the leaves
in the quiet moonlight,
I want to be free.

The White Curtain

Just there
the white curtain
lifts out from the window
as I pass by,
and I glimpse
oh, that something.
Words are almost
coming from that image.
The suggestion of change,
the good that comes
on a breeze.
So I go back
through the kitchen door
turn around to repeat
and stop at that
one enchanted spot
to listen and feel
it once again.
