A Voice on the Wind - And Other Poems - by - Madison Cawein
PROEM.
A Voice on the Wind
A VOICE ON THE WIND
THE LAND OF HEARTS MADE WHOLE
THE WIND OF WINTER
THE WIND OF SUMMER
THE SPIRIT OF THE FOREST SPRING
A wandering voice drifts through the pages, inviting listeners into a world where wind‑kissed hills, whispering forests, and restless seas become vivid companions. The poems move with a quiet urgency, each stanza painting scenes of autumnal spirits, restless owls, and distant farms that pulse with everyday wonder. Whether the speaker summons the “children” of the night or celebrates the simple grace of a leaf‑cricket, the language feels both rooted in nature and tinged with a lingering melancholy.
The collection unfolds like a stroll through a garden of seasons, offering fleeting glimpses of love, loss, and the restless yearning that stirs beneath ordinary moments. Readers will hear the rustle of leaves, the sigh of rain, and the soft echo of a distant song as the poet’s imagination trails across summer noon, winter’s chill, and the mystic edge of twilight. These verses invite quiet reflection, making the listener feel as though they, too, are walking hand‑in‑hand with the wind.
