The whispers in the grass were not meant for your ears, they will find another home You're whispers in the dark know me and they call me by name The words woven in the night are worth much Only to those who have heard them before Their ears long for promises that come as dutifully as one calls up a storm Those who are lain in the earth Their bones remember, these charms have clung to their bones They have not died with the clovers in the spring They were meant for yet another season Patience is a flower, and we will see her bloom, learn her petals, love her stem, watch the sun kiss her, the rain bathe her and the wind caress her as gentle as she can Her neighbors know her, for the earth treats all in kind Just as the sun kisses all in turn The sun even knows the snow, while the words they share are short undoubted they are sweet enough to catch a sparkle in her light Unliked the sonnets she sings to the equator Oh the pride she has for these melodies There is no lack of favor for the summer she brings I am not as old as you once found me Not the same as you once new me Close to as foolish as one could believe My moons have practical their dances beyond the rise Their ways are for another nights mysteries
