Teach Me

I said to the wind as it blew through
the trees and made the chimes dance
Teach me to sing
So I too can reach far and away with my voice
Teach me to sing
But the wind only carried my voice
away to a place I'll never hear it again.


I said to the rain as it wetted the ground and washed away the dry, cracked, broken soil.
Teach me to cry
So that I too can wash way the broken pieces of this broken heart
Teach me to cry
But the rain had tears only for another, perhaps the wind that blows so far away.


I said to the sun as it splashed it's bright rays upon new spring flowers
Teach me to smile
So that too can pass on happiness and life from a distance
Teach me to smile
But the sun just shined on leaving me with this sunburn.
