The Wind Keeps All Secrets

[Tetsanosuke]

The winds which flow onward to the west
Have beckoned forth signs of subtle behest,
Which seizes my breath as I listen in silence
With wonder of whether the wind is reliant

Can I rightfully see it's sincerity
When my eyes only see it's trail,
Are the tones quite true, I wonder
Or is there some audible veil

What cloaks the truth when we ponder reason
After every piece of the puzzle falls clear,
Another red herring engenders, a cognitive treason
What's unknown to humanity embodies fear

But at this moment when I listen
To the zephyrs as they pass,
I take to mind the tranquility
And it's fallibility so crass

It's strange to think of worlds
Where the lie is the shield,
And the truth is the sword
Whence the secret is revealed

The wind keeps all secrets
And shares nothing but it's presence,
Deep between it's waves and crests
Perhaps it knows of heaven

Until the day I leave; to seek the truth
I take comfort in my silent friend,
Who's body is my words and proof
Of another virtue to defend

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

The wind keeps all secrets
But I won't keep mine
Of saying this poem
Is simply divine

The more I read
The more I enjoy
It's pretty much like a new breed
Which makes me fill out of joy

Step by step
I can see where you get
With all you rhymes
That feed me like enzymes

So, how was I?

Thank you so much. This is a great poem. You sir are a wordsmith. Wordsmiths have amazing superpowers, they can shape and fashion words and phrases and turn them into beautiful works of art. People have forgotten but words are extremely powerful. You have a gift and Im thankful that you are able to share it with the rest of us.

Hahah. Responding to a poem with a poem. Of course.

Thank you both, though.

I'm glad you found something from my work.

I just thought that was the best way for replying
So maybe I am a poet too
