What Does The Wind Whisper (Poem)

when it winds through the trees

glides across the grass on the hillside

knocks against the crops in the field

does it repeat the gossip overheard

from the birds that gather on the wire

translate the busy chatters

barked by any scurry of squirrels

or even drop trivial tidbits

retrieved from human conversations

perhaps none of these, and it is silent

with no need to do anything other

than be the wind
