the breeze left footprints across the sand like a trail of fine lace it tip-toed over grass dotted dunes swirled through beach plums and came to rest in my ears like a forgotten memory whispering of stolen, star-lit kisses and slow dances on a moon-lit floor murmuring of far-off dreams and an angel's sigh the breeze moved on like an impatient child to lift and frolic among the clouds leaving me earthbound swept up in the footprints of a breeze though in my heart I soared too aloft in crystal skies "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |

Hehehe I have a confession to make, I stole the idea for this poem from a Home Decor magazine! In an article about Eyelet of all things! Odd where inspiration for poems come from isn't it? And thanks so much for the replies ya'll, I had hoped I was conveying the image well enough so the reader could FEEL being there along with me  ~H |

I know what you mean, like on a day when there is a light breeze on the air and you're not taking much notice, when all of a sudden a stronger breeze comes up and affects you directly it seems. It's almost like you are connected to it and it gives a you a lift and you're glad to be alive to take in the freshness of it...My God I'm going on so..great poem by the way....ethome. |

X Angel, this was very nice took me away it did.... these lines are my fav... whispering of stolen, star-lit kisses and slow dances on a moon-lit floor they really swept me up in a wishful moment. Parker |
