Departing Winds (new poem)

Departing Winds

by Tim Kavi

departing winds

carry the silent sounds

of captured stories

in the gliding winds

as eagle's wings

are spread

I wont tell their secrets

but will respect

the dead memories

that can no longer hurt

them

as they suffered

in their own mind's truth

what a wasted youth

of their seeking

shattered young ones

battered old ones too

beneath my flight

was the wasteland

of unconscious night

made present

in their sighing

the eagle lit

with healing branches

in its beak

if I could only speak

knowing there is sorrow

but flying

I will go and come back

the eagle

says

to heal more of you

tomorrow.
