Instrumental Wind

tell me again of
how whispers gather
in darkness
to become bouquets
of fresh cut stars
upon the edge of night
a word in the breeze
is the very window kiss
that talks to me softly
in a language I understand
where white petals split
from garden’s black lace
a heavy scent curving
leaf woven to sound
planted by moonlight
tenderness’ vine tumbling
a sigh told windward


just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

I think it is...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

This is absolutely stunningly beautiful.

I especially enjoyed the following lines ~

"tell me again of
how whispers gather
in darkness
to become bouquets
of fresh cut stars
upon the edge of night"

Since I missed responding to this awesome write the first time, I figured I would give it another bump to show my apreciation for it.
Great Job.

In the wooden chair
Beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
