Whispering Winds Tell Me A Story. . .
The whispers from the winds of time
Are carried to me by Melpomene*
Whose knife pierces the fabric of tragic memories
That continue to haunt my dreams. . .
The whispering winds will not let me forget
The shadows of my past sins
Trying in vain to outrun my demons
Never wanting to give in again . . .
The winds of change forever whisper
In my ears and serves to remind me
That the darkness is only a shadow of light
Which was always within me. . .
The whispers from the past
Now resonate with clarity
As I accept all my faults
And learn to embrace the darkness willingly. . .
For I've finally learned and accepted
That the shadows made me who I am
And it only took the whispers from the wind
To enable me to again stand . . .
Whispering winds tell of a story
Of how a fallen one has earned back wings
Although the heart is still heavy
The spirit can once again rejoice and sing. . .

*Melpomene (IPA pronunciation: [m?l'p?m?ni]) ("to sing" or "the one that is melodious") was a Muse in Greek mythology. She was the muse of tragedy, despite her joyous singing. She is often represented with a tragic mask and wearing the cothurnus, boots traditionally worn by tragic actors. Often, she also holds a knife or club in one hand and the tragic mask in the other. On her head she is shown wearing a crown of cypress. Melpomene is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Her sisters include Calliope (muse of poetry), Clio (muse of history), Euterpe (muse of flute playing), Terpsichore (muse of dancing), Erato (muse of erotic poetry), Thalia (muse of comedy), Polyhymnia (muse of hymns), and Urania (muse of astronomy).
