my feet carried my heart down a path
I'd not traversed before
the air carried a scent, wild and free
I knew not what it foretold
or what I should find
if my course continued so
the sky cracked with thunder's ire
the earth shook to it's very core
the seas creatures gave rise to their haunting refrain
as rocks and trees, mountains and waters
all chorused in a melodic chime
the winds spake your name to my heart
before my mind e'er knew it's exsistence
my lips longed for the sweet fruit of your kiss
though my eyes had ne'er drowned in the tides of yours
the breeze whispered your love to me
on the currents of an unknown sky

Heather - Tell me it ain't so - tell me this poem isn't for Toerag - please - my whole well being depends on this -  tell me that scalawag hasn't gotten to you, too!  Please....  I like your poem.

'Deer - Yeah, I see very well.  Lessee, you live on the east coast of southern Florida, Heather lives in northern Oregon... yep, that's just about right - your "scent" can be picked up all the way out in Oregon!  Have you thought about taking more frequent baths?  lol

I like this a lot. I had visions of riding a horse along the beach with the wind and salt water in the air... very nice writing!

I like this very much! *S*

And of course, I'm ROFL @ Balladeer and LJA... even if they did rather destroy the mood the poem set. *G* ("Fruity" lips, Deer one? *G* Been in that produce section again, hunh? LOL)
