If I were Wind Could I be wind I would lust so to be waves flicking finger gusto into the curl I’d ride the swell and fall under sandy child’s spell To sail a ship be my caprice or stop mid sail and let it be helplessly left to ocean whim then sudden take back up again My wind would run through your fair hair as your hand held mine to try repair I’d tease it till it stood on end then turn and bring it down again I’d fly with dust rag city streets turn garbage bags into sheets that cover homeless in the cold then wake them in a warm air fold If I were wind at night I’d fly and come into your lullaby in edge of dream a whispered hush to take you into sigh of blush Then with breath I took from flower I’d kiss your cheeks with garden power If I were wind |

"I’d fly with dust rag city streets turn garbage bags into sheets that cover homeless in the cold then wake them in a warm air fold" I love that stanza and your poem, sweetie. *Hugs* Michael |

(smiles) Awwwwww, and you may not be wind, but your personify the wind, for you always bring hope and smiles to those who feel sad or lonely, help those in great need, and bring great happiness to all your friends and love! (kiss on cheek) You truly are the Wind, sweet friend, you always caress these pages with flowers and beams of sunshine, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

If I were wind at night I’d fly and come into your lullaby in edge of dream a whispered hush to take you into sigh of blush Then with breath I took from flower I’d kiss your cheeks with garden power If I were wind ------------------------------------------- Ah Martie...you KNOW I love this one. Beautifully penned sweet poetess. ~Hugs~ |

The wind speaks every language to rich and poor alike It rushes on to freedom as a toddler on a bike Your poem does the same.. PS..when I am seeking a rhyme, I take the syllable, such as like..and run down the alphambet mentally..as in bike, c. no.. d dike is a levee, e no f, g, h hike, j no k no..l like m mike n no (no sneakers allowed) p pike..etc.. With a bit of practice I found I dropped rhymes like an autumn rain. Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

If I were wind at night I’d fly and come into your lullaby in edge of dream a whispered hush to take you into sigh of blush Then with breath I took from flower I’d kiss your cheeks with garden power If I were wind Feels just like a brilliant day breeze.. Really wonderful thoughts and flow. Sincerely, Reg |
