This is how I picture the wind;
roguish,
blowing across lush fields, into the dark catacombs
of bosom— eavesdropping
where thoughts soft-spoken are buried.
Surrounded by pandemonium
I observe its prowess closely; is this what it means to be vigilant?
If so, teach me.

Kim is our hostess today at dVerse and the word is “eavesdrop.”We may take a form or compound of it.
Come join us! ❤️

The wind is a powerful metaphor… I know a Swedish poem about the wind being a lover stealing his mistress away.

The wind as eavesdropper – I love it! ‘Surrounded by pandemonium’ – so truthful: is the pandemonium within the wind, or within our hearts?

We talk about reading other people’s minds, but…
eavesdropping
where thoughts soft-spoken are buried….
is very hard to do! Well done
