I Send the Wind

from Six Songs for Lisa by Avery Burke

/

lyrics

The wind sings in the tree's
empty grasp.
So too I sing to you
when from your hands I'm cast.

So see the leaves
tremble.
Hear the gentle breeze,
hear me—remember.
Remember.

Oh, wind
(soft breath of air),
whisper in her ear.
Rain,
starstud her midnight
hair.

When you needed them
(I'm so sorry),
just like the wind,
my words flew from me.

Now I wish I could
give up my body
and be shapeless as the wind
in December,

or the moonlight on your floor,
or a song
you will always remember.
Remember.

----

I send the wind
to you
my voice fails me
but my heart is true

I send the winter
cold and grey
every gust, every whisper
say what I can't say
