Touched as the wind
moves 'cross this vast land
searched for an answer
washed up on the sand

Eyes tightly shut
as I looked to the sky
sometimes stars speak
and sometimes they cry

Wait for the moment
as warm breeze embraces
soothing your senses
like velvety laces

Souls float transparent
on nights like tonight
you can dance with an angel
and never take flight

Like loving and smiling,
sunsets yet to be,
unexpected embraces
or a kiss you dont see

On nights like tonight
if you just close your eyes
let go of your senses
and take a short ride...

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Yes Sir.  They speak to me and cry with me.

Well done!

This is beautiful and I am placing it into my library of favourites. Chris
