My curious heart
Leads me down open roads
That wind easy along the way
The way to your door

The birds fly above me
Singing a welcome
That echoes through the trees
Softly tickling their leaves

Gentle winds brush upon my back
Whispering tales of forgotten lore
Asking for a kind remembrance
Of days spent with you

...just bein' Bluesy

Bluesy, this is very beautiful! Despite the sadness, there is so much joy and happiness in the memory of the loved one, that it overflows. I love the request of a keepsake at the end. Your poem, reminds me of Arthur Rimbaud’s poem, Ma Bohème, although there was no lover, past or present in that poem – just an explosion of joy of Nature and wandering.

I love this poem!
The image of the wind, helping you on the way to your love, is really moving!
It's like the nature is blessing you )

Ahhh . . . Such a beautiful and emotional poem, Emma. You are a special person with a special gift. Keep on giving.
