Last night, the wind spoke, and the child listened.
The next day, the child spoke, but there was no one to listen,
"Swoosh... Swish-swish... Whoosh..."
The child cried.
The ground became wet, and as darkness fell, the child's tears flowed like a river.
Was it the waves that stirred the wind, or the wind that caused the waves...
Before knowing,
"Swoosh... Swish-swish... Whoosh..."
The child's voice soared carried by the wind and waves.
Gathering, dispersing, gathering again, disappearing into the sky and earth...
One day, the wind and waves returned to the dry land where the river had vanished, but the child was nowhere to be found.
"Whooii... Wheeii... Whoohooii..."
In that spot, a small flower sparkled, and the wind and waves wept.
