SECRETS ON THE WIND ~ SONNET

Dead leaf what kind of mission are you on?
As in the wind you twirl with sudden panic?
What message do you bring to green-grass lawn?
You are only coming through in static.

What secrets do you keep from Mother Earth?
That wind and you will take to your ground-grave?
What is, to you, this air adventure worth?
That stuck to wind you are a bonded slave?

Your brothers wait below so patiently
cause answers that you have will wake their sleep.
So leaf, upon your journey go gently
and come what may, those secrets safely keep.

The trees, the sky and rivers will cajole,
so keep the secrets in your withered soul.

Moonchild this is a very lively piece and a lovely sonnet, with all the ups and downs of emotions coming through. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lovely sonnet Karen...wonderfully done! We will all be in the wind someday...and carry our secrets with us to the ground. Although probably not the poets...we won't have many left will we?

Lovely Karen,

I love poems about nature,
and the wind carries so many mysteries.
