Searching Through The Clouds

How do I condense, into palpable bites, such feeling?
Trying to reshape my words to fit your ears
What bursts within my heart to say what silence hears

The part of me as tree stands strong, bending timeless hours
Quaking with the joyful breeze roots deep the shyest flowers
When you are the wind, brushing my heart with yours  

I face the wrong way, to capture enough air to breath
Always feeding you with visions that you can’t believe
While I hunger to know the sound of your exhaled songs

Not because I don’t have wings, or arms that reach the sky
But because a stronger bond has woven closely you and I
Blown warm and cold, the future can’t be held at bay

We have never talked through so much more to say
Caress of mind, slides over time to touch your hand
To carry me from timid shores, and somehow understand

The part of me as rain, cries

I can't find a word that works
enchanting comes close...

Sounds of exhaled songs...

I love that idea in your imagery.

Great, great poem.
