Last night I thought I heard the wind,
calling out to me,
From bed I rose to answer her,
to see what I could see,
Across the room a hunter's moon,
shone through window's pane,
Whil'st all the while she beckoned me,
with midnight's sad refrain,
Reaching in and taking hold,
of what one calls a soul,
All that I know is to the wind,
I ceded full control,
Of what I am, of what I was,
Of what I e'er shall be,
I felt her breath upon my face,
I felt her set me free.
Up into the firmament,
Up to heaven's vault,
She carried me to touch the stars,
Ensconced in her exalt.

lovely indeed...reminds me a bit of one of mine

Of Wanton Muse
~Ruth Kephart~

With muted words of long ago
Speaks muse to me in loving flow.
He brings to life lost inspiration
From depths beyond my own creation.
I hear his voice in clarity,
This calm, elusive deity,
And feel his breath, hot on the breeze,
It brings me trembling to my knees.

I answer, lost beyond all doubt
As words on paper tumble out;
And clasp my pen of gilded gold
In search of something real to hold.
He speaks, I answer, warm reply
Though teardrops trickle from my eye.
My wound not cured by stitch nor salve;
One always wants what they can't have.

And so once more I bid goodnight
To gentle muse and dim the light,
Lay down my pen, pull up the sheet,
And pray for wind to cool the heat.

Amazing, first of your poems I've read, but dying to see more. Your style is my cup of tea, I think!
