Let the failing winds subside Along my heart that cries In the falsity of hope That covers all of our souls Let the failing winds march down To the shore that comes home As ocean breeze's lift us up To watch the sun play around Let the failing winds cry out To the hopeless of the world Open arms that bring you inside don't you feel the love subside Let the failing winds build strength Upon my torn and battered mind Let loose the winters of my death That come to take me by the hand. Let the failing winds walk away Letting me breathe another day As I walk from my languished life To begin my last mortal right. |

Let the failing winds walk away Letting me breathe another day As I walk from my languished life To begin my last mortal right. =========================== your poetic winds never fail you... this serves proof of that... and once again I say... god I love the way you write peace and poetry MG jm We're all feeding our lonely like it might go away, |

What a mix....failing winds....almost, perhaps, an oxymoron, except...they do fail, just as one lifts the kite in April...or a sailboat at sea needs the one last push.... or a promise, broken.... Your writing continues upward....you are finding a fan, here....that hopefully will not fail.... |

What would you do without your wind? And just how long did it take you to write this one 4 minutes?? hehehe Marina It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen |
