As The Wind Blows

I take this moment
to step back into the forest
to the place where love
both begins and ends.

I listen to the wind
blowing through the trees
as it shakes loose
all the dead now falling leaves.

As the wind
continues to blow
traces of love
go with the flow.

Some lovers desperately
cling to the tree branches
determined to never
let love go.

I wonder if my love
is strong enough
to enable it to
hold on and grow.

I feel as if
I will soon know
as sure as
the wind blows.

James,

I can almost see the trees and tumbling leaves. A wonderful picture you paint with your words

Hugs,

That sure is the truth! The tree branches sometimes give way and break.
Good Write James

When love is real no matter the strength of the winds it cannot be pulled apart. Magnificent writing, James. **hugs** I hope so much that you get the love that your heart desires.

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