The wind strong and destructive
calm and seductive
calls to me with a mournful
sound the soul recognizes
mirrored reflections, kindred spirits
the wind and I
sweep me to places seen in visions
soothe me with the melodies
sung to the moon and stars
at night
hold me in an embrace and ease the
longing my intimate friend
for only
you understand this restlessness
I possess
only you understand

~I envy those who have perfected the art of being~

Very nice,
I like this
I have my own restless wind inside
and although seemingly calm
tends toward destruction.

Oh I think I understand your restlessness...your description is vivid.

A most intriguing write sister...Very impressive.

Thank you for sharing this, for it brought something up from my memory banks, an old tune I remember hearing as a child. I know it as 'The Wayward Wind' but that may not be the correct title.

your words interweave with each other
[regardless the breaks]. i adore that
style of write. it's so flowy, and its
laced with such a beautiful ending.
'only you understand'.

sigh. you make depressed [thats a good
thing by the way].

A Tone of Voice,
I don't believe I've read your work before, but when you speak of the wind and give it the colour of mood, I know I will be reading you again.

Kethry, thank you very much......yes the color of mood. I like to think of the elements as real possessing personalities of their own. The wind is very fickel subject to change and rearrange often, I'd say a lot like me.....*S*

CPat, something I enjoy doing and have for a long time is to attribute personalities to the elements. Salty and I were in a ~killer~ tornado years ago and it seemed as if it was a gigantic monster.....Thank you so much for your comments, a sane man huh? smiling here~!
