The old wind came through tonight On silent wings of broken angels Allowing me to see the strangled tears That flowed from those patient eyes. The old wind came through tonight As favored as the gentle rain That passes over a thirsty land Endangered of its own humanity. The old wind came through tonight Picking up the pieces broken off Of those troubled and torn hands That think they fail at life’s necessities. The old wind chose me tonight Lifting my battered body from this world Of passing languages meaning nothing Then falling into the hands of obscurity. |

This is sage writing and open thinking. I like this verse.. "The old wind came through tonight As favored as the gentle rain That passes over a thirsty land Endangered of its own humanity." Well done! |
