God

I ask with a whisper,

Through a veil in the shadows.

There is wind – it feels cool.

Motions become slow,

Meandering as each bemused

Syllable waltzes with the moon.

There is light – it looks soft.

Long whistles, strung in tune

Sculpt this dream with memory.

Whimsy soothes the mind

With a gentle, lulling sleep.
