The Same Wind Blows

Who wants to lose their freedom?
I will be the first to say "not I."
You seem to believe I would
take your freedom away.
I can only wonder why.
The same wind blows across our bodies
gently caressing us in mysterious ways.
It comes and goes as it pleases
and always has it's way.
And yet isn't it reassuring to know
that the gentle wind is always close
and never too far away?
Each time you come my way I love the feel
of your gentle caress.
I love to bathe in your beauty and soak
in the luxury of your loveliness.
Still I know you will stay
only for awhile and then you will go
and I have no problem with that.
Yet when you stand close at hand
I will enjoy you all I can.
And when you're gone patiently wait
until your gentle caress of which I'm blessed
comes to me once again.
I don't want to take your freedom
yet sometimes I want to hold your hand.
I love you just the way you are.
I hope you understand.

It's a good poem James, but in my opinion the freedom spoken of her is over rated.  Joyce
