~Inspired by a song "Walking In The Air" by Aled Jones. Hope you like it...~

I walk quietly
through the gentle
caress of the air.
Wind blows ever so
softly, making sure
not to disturb your body.
When with you, I feel
as if I'm walking on air.
You make me feel warm inside.
You wave your arms to brush
away harm,trying to
protect me.

Lifting me to the sky.
Flying swiftly like an
angel with wings.
It's you who makes me whole.
When the ride is over,
the dream is gone.
You, the one who made me warm,
was walking on air.

The dream becomes real
and you rise me up higher
and higher. Never to let me fall.
Walking on air, tiptoeing
not to disturb your body.
The heat that comes off you
secures me as so I never
leave the air.

The touch of your hand
leaves me with a sense of love.
Keeping me content, you set me
free like a butterfly escaping
it's cocoon.

Suddenly a violent storm forms,
and it's you who saves me.
Putting me to safety but your
gentleness is gone.
One night,I'm walking on air.
The next, I realize you are
just in my dreams.

The wind blows through my hair,
ocean waves crash through the sand.
The sun sets in far sky.
Moon shines as I begin
walking on air one step closer
to you.

~Loving you isn't the problem, getting too close is.~
*Mistakes are made, you pay for them, then you do it again.*
~*Love doesn't make the world go

I agree with OtherSideoftheMirror. This was a great poem, very vivid imagery. I especially liked the end, "one step closer to you." Well Done!

Heh! You'll be a household name if you keep this up!... well, maybe not, but it's still great. I'll have to listen to that song, if it was able to inspire THIS. Thats where my insperation comes from: The song sets the mood, life dictates the words. Great poem!
