WILD AND FREE
(This poem I dedicated to a truly amazing Woman: Startime)

Her long brown hair moves gently in a gust of wind,
waves caress her feet as she gazes at the horizon,
contemplating: I wonder at her;
cannot reach the place
where she hides her thoughts.

No matter: silhouetted against the sun,
every curve of her tanned body
speaks only of perfection;
every glance, an invitation; every supple movement
makes my body come alive.

Ah! The way she walks,
the gurgle of her laughter, the sultry tones of her voice
between the waves;
the flash of her full smile  when I reach for her hand;
the carefree toss of her head!

A friend once asked me,
"What is the most beautiful creation?"
To which I replied:
"I know of nothing more beautiful
than mountains with jagged cliffs
above flowered alpine meadows
on a clear, sunny day..."
He said, “One thing tops it all: a woman in all her glory,
wild, free, happy in her beingness
the true Goddess unchained as a melody;
that is the most beautiful creation
ever brought forth by love.

*sigh* how am I to respond to this, WindWalker? You have woven a vision of alpine meadows and magical mountain peaks where I wander in my fantasies. You knew I would love this poem.....and now you have left me at a loss for words. Thank you, so much for the beauty that you have woven in these words.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
