Upon life’s many windswept roads
flutters so the wish of soul
in tune, entwined, intrinsically  
with the endless swirl of needs
restless in their quest to be.

Blows time the fullness of desire
from air to land, from soul to me,
and in that gusty, lusty, breeze
I am in touch though yet apart
from love’s complexities.

But in the spread and stretch of soul
not only I have acquiesced
to this somewhat sly reality
perceived as being the death of me.

And in this touch of feet to ground
how silently dreams creep around
and chip away at boundaries
till I believe I can’t believe
in my mortality.

Like the wind my needs, desires,
to unknown peaks assuredly rise
but how grows a heart from infancy
when no breeze stirs love to me?

Lovely, heartfelt write. I am sure that love is on a breeze yet to find you.
hugs, Chris

Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion.

Thanks Chris and Lee for the read.  If love be on a breeze there's no hope of catching it with feet on the ground ... I guess.

Helen

To catch love you must jump, or use those wings that I see most surely on your shoulders, and fly!
