In serene stillness
With candles aflame
Two voices joined
By the breath of the Wind
Gentle gusts scuttle
An oblivious leaf
Over naked ground
To the juniper’s roots
Quiet words quelled
When ardent flames flicker
A tempestuous cadence
Tinged with urgent growls
Two pairs of ears
Strain to hear
The anguished silence
On reticent lips
And comes the shriek
A great howl unleashed
Rips the souls of trees
From trembling limbs
Two hearts throbbing
As the piercing blast
Rattles shivering walls
And two mouths cry out
