Wind Song I prayed for a wind song – a melody of honey treasure kissing at your ear. Playing tender touches in you hair, and softly stirring and tapping at you neck and shoulders… I watched the song play… A melody warmed in a morning sun, while you slept past our waking hour. For a moment I was jealous of your sleep – as it held on to you… I listened to the wind singing… In a moment, looking at you, I saw what loving a woman truly is. Such gentleness, as soft rose-petals of woven silk contours of a kisses on your lips, and coy teasing looks from your loving eyes. That wind song came alive and swept sleep from your eyes, and you smiled and hugged me gently to you. I prayed for a wind song – a melody of honey treasure kissing at your ear. Playing tender touches in you hair, and softly stirring and tapping at you neck and shoulders… Prayers are answered if you believe – listen… . . . Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Maranatha! [This message has been edited by JL (02-03-2012 08:24 AM).] |

I'm not a praying man, but a hoping one, and I feel the two are connected. My hopes have been answered and I have what this poem speaks of. Very nicely written, JL. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Very nice, JL.. Wakes all of the senses..sight, sound and touch..a sort of human equation. The words of the poem, when added together equal answers that would satisfy any reader that is a romantic....:-) |

I hear if I close my eyes and listen really intently. I see the love you have so poetically described. And I am happy that you have shared such intimate beauty with us. This is a song I will play again and again. xoxoo A |
