Echoes in the Wind

By Autumn White, Contributing Poet


Quiet, still voices that echo in the wind and drift off in the distance making their way past one person and the other.

Its blow is small, not like blowing out candles but enough to send little chills throughout your body.

You can feel their presence but cannot hear or see well enough to know what they are.

Sometimes our voices feel insignificant, but that is why we need a person who will bring the winds along with the hurricane or the change of motion like a tornado.

People like this bring awareness to the imperceptive and sound to the unconscious.

People like this offer a high-pitch soprano to those who feel unheard.

People like this are important because without having people to stand up for us, change will never occur.

We can be the light for people who feel unseen and the feeling of love for those who’ve never experienced it before.

Our voice is a stance for someone who can’t.

Advocating is life-changing for someone.
