“If you reveal your secrets to the wind,
you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.”
I whispered my secret to the four winds
An eavesdropping cloud breezing past, picked it up and ascended heavenward
The wind carried it silently to the trees
Murmuring among themselves, the branches spread the word across the forest
Falling leaves brought the buzz to the earth beneath
And by way of babbling brook, the words carried downstream to the ocean
The gathering voice ferried by the current to worlds beyond the horizon
And passed on by every wave lapping onto new shores
It was heard by faraway sands
And so the whole world and all of Laniakea* now know
Of my love for you
* Hawaiian for immeasurable heaven – the name given by astronomers to the cluster of galaxies within which our Milky Way lies
