As written by my niece (Sihle Ravaioli - 14 years old)
The wind blows, pushing
the leaves from the trees
It sounds as if the wind
has good news to tell
The sound of the leaves
being blown by the wind
makes the sound of the sea
Shh, Shh, Shh
The wind blows the trees
from side to side
Making the trees look like
the sea coming to shore and back
shore and back, constantly
Making me feel
at peace with myself
