‘I don’t know what to think,’ she said
‘I feel too much to feel,’ she said
And if you want to know the truth again
Just have to wrap your arms around the wind
‘And trust in something higher than us,’ I said

‘There’s something missing inside of me,’ she said
‘There’s too much noise to hear me,’ she said
Clearness is offered, but will never be found
We are one with the sky, the water, the ground
‘How much do you need to be touched?’ I said

‘Can’t pretend this ghost again,’ she said
‘Can’t let in, or even begin,’ she said
With her arms folded, eyes downcast
The sun was drowning in the past
‘Things gold cannot buy your soul,’ I said

‘Just another day, a minute, an hour,’ she said
‘Just hold me again like a little flower,’ she said
And once more with arms around each other
Trying, and praying not to smother
‘Just me and you this complete,’ I said

my moth words cant do the justice that your own words can do this one ...
so I will let your poetry speak for me
(hard to talk when Im sighing anyway)
"Just have to wrap your arms around the wind

always loved this one... and the title
my PK collection grows

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
