The wind does not merely blow, as its wisdom pervades
Softly crumbling defenses of great mountains, persuades
Leaving lovingly etched on the hard face of facts
In caress to be felt long beyond breezed refracts

In the instance of living, what has been should be then
While the float and the stirring comes and goes, been again
Without even a heart sound to disturb our together
Sent to you every breath, a proverbial feather

Not a gale nor howl, neither hardest nor fierce
But a gentle adventure void of probing or pierce
Through your thoughts to discover a lament of the soul
In the wrapping of wishes, gold as bells spelled fall knoll

Could it be the for real seems to conquer so pale
Passing through hardest granite, lifting light what is frail
So un-fearfully given as a kiss still beseeched
To the winds of your heart, and the depths I have reached

In this,  I perceive you are making both
a statement and a plea.  It has something of
a quaint feel to it.  I also sense you may
have struggled a little with it...  Hang in
there kid...

Maybe, if I read this about twice more,  I
would not be so ignorant a fool....for as I
read each line,  a light comes to me,  and
I say to myself,  most humbly....is but
the breeze of a poetess,  flowing gently
upon my mind....feel it,  savor it....for it
is simply said...  most divine!!
