About A Birth

I want to whisper

About one of those special days

About a birth that gave birth to me

Who introduced me to the world and love

***

I want to introduce you

Sitting together telling the universe

Then apologize to her

If it turns out that now I miss you more

***

It's the wind's job to help light make life

But that doesn't make her forget

To keep conveying longing in the breeze

Blocked by the silence of life

***

I can never show you the way

Because it's not in my power

Then, at least you can still talk a little more

Even in a thousand silences

***
