We rode the wind
like time winding
down another road
another place

captured stills
of warm embraces
as laughter
met the sky

like children
we were
stealing moments

tho' all the while
we already knew
that some things
you just can't buy

but borrow we can,

and borrow we did.

Damp, the feel
from morning dew
tall grass glistened
standing still
when sun listened

to our morning
dripping

golden rays
drenching

hours spent


languishing.

All was then,
and is,
as all should be

remembering,
the passion
the glory
where upon the day

wild was free.

Sweet, these visions
down pathways of memories

where the wind still sings
our highway song.

::smiles::   The wind has no voice...
until it touches something.
I love the way it touched you.
Thank you for sharing the touch.

Love this sweet lady!!
Brought back a lot of my own summer memories.
Hugs~Nancy

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....

I remember those days...oh yes,  when passion
was so much a part of life..and all else was
but a breeze across a fevered brow...

"All was then,
and is,
as all should be"

And since you know that now, then all is now....love this windswept memory!
