"The Sound of Wind"


Into the night I make my way
and stray across the shadowed green
Alone at start of darkening day
enjoying solitude, serene

And as I walk my musings fall  
to life's impossibilities
Your tender voice's quiet call
A dream, I feel you next to me

But no, it is the sound of wind
in autumn's race through lingering leaf
or spirits, sad, of those who've sinned
whose own desire was granted grief

My heart, aswirl with honest ache
for what I need to be your touch
transcends the crest, horizons wake,
to shed a tear in loving's clutch

Twas my words to you rested on the wind
In hopes of your path they would descend
Silent whispers sent aloft in heaven's height
To find the heart that cries in the night

===================

Such wonderful verses from you and such beautiful ways of expressing your heart.  I do so love the way you write and the way that you find so many solo moments turning to thoughts of longing and dreams that we all deserve to know.  This shows me that your heart is one that reaches out is honest and sincere touch.  Keep on writing and so glad to see that the flu has not taken away your muse.

You haven't been here very long, but you've already showed us your heart. Your feelings are always so clearly expressed. This was gloomy, but in a beautiful way, especially with the autumn scene you painted.

Rainydays - I read what I read, and I see a writer with a heart. The wind I hear, as it rushes from this great poem.

I can relate to this beautiful poem...the wind has many voices...soft whispers to the moans of lovers crying...pain and joy...screams and songs...loved it.

Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox

a beautiful tone ... nice work ...

Rainydays,
A wonderful penning of your feelings, well done. I am with you.

"And as I walk my musings fall  
to life's impossibilities
Your tender voice's quiet call
A dream, I feel you next to me"

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

A perfect compliment to "Color of Wind" which I read yesterday. . .

There's nothing like seeing how the same thing inspires different poets. . .

Great writing. . .

Sunny, the wind certainly does have its own voice, and is heard differently by us all, I believe. Thank you for your sweet response.

Seymour, (Mr. T. of Po e tree) Thank you...glad to know you enjoyed reading this little bit of scribble.  

Mark, yet another lovely verse? Are you ever without a poem in your pen? (don't answer that!) Seriously, this is beautiful, and I thank you for it.

Elizabeth, thank you very much for your words of such sweet warmth.

Bill, what a nice thing to say. I thank you for reading and responding so kindly.

ethome, I am glad to know that you were able to feel the mood through this piece, and I appreciate so much your "good work" message. Thank you!

Ron, yes, many voices, and an array of poems, no doubt, for each. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

SkyFyre, what a lovely name. Thank you so much.

M.A. Miller, mind? I love poetry about the wind, and all the elements of nature. The wind has such poetic value, I believe, because it is something of a mystery to us ... so powerful and yet something we cannot identify except by the way the world "reacts" to it and is changed by it. Your piece is absolutely remarkable, by the way.

Daniel, you know the calling of the wind... thank you so much.

Sven, I agree. Artistic expression is so personal. I really love M.A. Miller's "Color of Wind."

azure, (another lovely name!) thank you very much for reading and saying such nice things.
