Alphabet of the Wind

The wind whispers through the dunes
builds words with the sand
and offers them to those who listen, bright as sails
It is a secret alphabet, hidden in the rustle
every grain is a letter that resists a breath
and who listens becomes the keeper of this alphabet
Words born from the wind rise like seagulls
spun of salt and sun, they flow through the air
and settle upon the heart of those who remain to listen
If you truly listen, the alphabet changes its name
every word loses a feather and becomes a promise
the desert invites you to write with the mouth of the wind
