Secrets



Whispers in the willows
A hush slips through the leaves
The swaying limber branches
In a countryside of trees

From dark and stable ground
Embodied life of knowledge
A boundless flowing cycle
No boundaries, no edge

Unstoppable to destroy
An ear placed on the ground
Listen to the whistles
Listen to a craven sound

Ego topples over top
Sitting in its shade
Vines of self inflicted doubt
Inescapable parade

A seed the life to start anew
Tamped firmly down, cultivate
Information of its own
Restore, revamp, and reinstate
