Why, when winds blow...the seeds of life's sands swirl the furrowed brow? Waking one's mind to moments harsh as chilling winter blows the northern gale upon life's plain. Why, when waters fall in torrents, the rivulets stalk the muddy trail to life's river, where deep currents run against the incoming tide of thought? Why...when above, the clouded skies bring gleaming stars and moments treasured in the bask of a golden sun? If but the breeze could course the flowing winds into one's hand, to be held gently as the bridled rein restrains the urge to simply dash into the shadowed cove. If but a gasp could swallow the delicate feel of urgent tremors and calm one's day....into a golden shrouded dawn. Wish for me the plain filled with life's harvest, that I might sift the seed and allow the chaff of torment to flow with the wind....that calms and consoles life's breeze...until again tomorrow a moon sets upon the rise of day. |

"If but the breeze could course the flowing winds into one's hand, to be held gently as the bridled rein restrains the urge to simply dash into the shadowed cove. If but a gasp could swallow the delicate feel of urgent tremors and calm one's day....into a golden shrouded dawn" could almost feel those breezes blowing through this..very emotionally descriptive.. much enjoyed  |

Barry, this is outstanding work. Your images will remain in my mind in wishful thoughts. Patricia |
