Perhaps only a chasing after the wind?
Perhaps the stubborn belief
in a timeless love on some undefined horizon?

Nevertheless this is the morning – chosen –
the early; the pure morning,
when still under the enchantment of dreams
I meet the woman I love in infinity –
or I create her (and why not?)
shaping her from the dawn’s clear light:
for me, there will be no more waiting.

In my vision
the slanted rays of the rising sun cast
her unmistakable shadow across mine,
both outlined in dew-speckled grasses.
How could this burning desire
not bring forth that which we call “real”?
For the reality of this vision –
whether of spirit or flesh
has already changed every part of my life.

I wonder:
in the process of changing one's life
through the manifestation of something good,
should one just sit still,
meditating on every possibility?
(Possibilities do not engender the new –
  only the tried and abandoned or failed.)

Should one keep moving like the wind
with new thoughts – impossibilities –
written with tears upon the rain,
yet powerful enough to warp the face of time;
to weave new patterns upon the fabric of space?

Hesitant I may be, yes, but not cowed by fear
of drastic consequences from unexpected results.  
I have desired her since the dawn of time
and now, I have seen her –
I won’t  turn away  from this event – not ever.

If there be such a thing as timeless ‘Cosmic Romanticism’…
then surely this is it! …

I am most especially fond of the thought of:

“… chasing after the wind (and) timeless love
(across some) undefined horizon…”

also most fine:

“keep moving like the wind
with new thoughts – impossibilities –
written with tears upon the rain”

MUCH sustained applause for this fine ‘penning’ !!

The dreams you weave are quite charming and so life like.

Fabulous writing, windwalker~
