Whispers

The wind and willow whisper
Relating their own forgotten lives
Away from this
Away from this

The rabbit and rooster rush
Leaving their own remembered memories
Away from them
Away from them

What to do with all the time
Living on nothing
But a dime
Our minds give us no hope
But a sad solemn dope

I wish for more
I wish to hear
I wish to hold
The whispers in the wind
The differing thoughts of a different kind
The escape that other species have found

I wish to hear them
I wish to hold them
The whispers of the wind and the willow
