Tears in the wind
from life seen and tasted
in eternity
past the boundaries of earth
past the last signpost
of this universe,

I saw
(but what did I perceive?)

little
that I could understand
alone
walking this vale of storms
of tears
in restless winds
--time's Autumn
weighs heavily on my heart--

a tumble weed
blown about
shifting sands
dishevelled, naked, hungry
lifting scarred hands
to unsmiling copper skies
I cried to faded stars
out of my pain

"Tell Me Why?"
--I heard my voice carried off
in raucous laughter
the wind's laughter

then
through my tears in the wind
I caught a glimpse of love:
took a deep, deep breath,
made myself understand,
quieting my trembling soul.

Another storm has passed me by:
only now do I realize
your arms around my shoulders,
your gentle strength
holding me up, once more.

this 'write' is most fine! ...

I am especially fond of the ending:

"through my tears in the wind
I caught a glimpse of love:
took a deep, deep breath,
made myself understand,
quieting my trembling soul.

Another storm has passed me by:
only now do I realize
your arms around my shoulders,
your gentle strength
holding me up, once more."

v. serious and sustained applause for this 'penning'!!

Intense emoting, made me want to reach through this blue screen and give you a healing hug.
Then the ending...was a warm loving hug.

love your title...found this stanza simply amazing:

"a tumble weed
blown about
shifting sands
dishevelled, naked, hungry
lifting scarred hands
to unsmiling copper skies <<--(that is such a cool phrase)
I cried to faded stars
out of my pain"

...it was all good

"Tears in the Wind" ~ The perfect title for a perfect poem!

"a tumble weed
blown about
shifting sands
dishevelled, naked, hungry
lifting scarred hands
to unsmiling copper skies
I cried to faded stars
out of my pain"

~ I hearya! I seeya! I feelya!

Thank goodness for loving arms that offer us a port in those storms.

Another fine write, WW
