Love is where the wind blows
but it’s lonely just like me
for the blue intractable
and the clouds unfixed.  

Down it comes to solid ground
a searcher just like me
and finds the hair, the skin,
of absolute perfection.

And peace comes then upon it
but peace is not forever
when the perfect can’t believe
love is in the air.

Then unabsorbed love moans  
and it’s like thunder in the sky
that echoes down the years
of solitary confinement.

If you wake up wondering
why love’s out there not here
it’s because, because, simply because,
you didn’t let it in!

A wonderful poem to end my day with
Lonely but lovely

Nah, not lonely - it's ... touching inside me
and whispers ...  just read, feel and understand.  Does that make sense?

I really enjoy your writing.

Thank you so much, Alison.  (My daughter's name is Alison).  I don't seem to have any other "words of wisdom" to offer at this time so just another "thank you".

ohh, dear Helen, this is stunningly beautiful, even though it hurts. But now that the secret is unveiled, it's still the right time to open the doors...

I deeply enjoy your words always, this is precious. You always share wisdom, besides perfect beauty.

Love and hugs.

Thank you Margherita, JL, and James.  It seems to be raining "inside" today but then again it often does despite my best efforts.

Jo!  How good to see you.  Letting it in is sometimes not as easy as one would think because we THINK too much!  Thanks for the read.

Interloper - Thank you!  I appreciate you stopping by.
