The Wind Spoke To Me

The wind spoke to me,

I listened and heard.

Whispering voices

That called my name.

Do you remember?

They asked me.

Remember love?

I had no answer.

I knew no mother,

Loved no father.

I had only myself,

All alone.

Have you cared?

The voices murmured.

Cared for someone?

I laughed softly.

What I have not receive,

I cannot learn to give.

Feelings were only weaknesses

That life has taught me to abhor.

Am I still human?

I asked the wind in turn.

A monstrosity?

I had to know.

The wind blew itself out,

The voices died,

Leaving only the silence

That was my reply.
