Wandering With The Wind I wish I could have found you on those cold and lonely nights I wish the stars had offered me a little bit more light I wish I didn’t have to put this song into the fire I wish I didn’t need the flames to unleash my desire The fire told the story as the pages slowly burned The words were rising high above I hoped for your return The smoke was gently lifting in the hopes that you would see The embers that were slowly burning, deep inside of me The melody was drifting as it spiraled out of sight I tried so hard to reach you Did you hear me on that night? Your everything that matters in the universe within A song without an ending that we happened to begin Your all I ever wanted, my love never will recede My song is sailing in the wind It’s painful when you bleed My passion floated far away and scampered out of sight My broken heart was smoldering Where were you on that night? Your message never came, amidst the dismal winds of change The fire slowly dwindled and my soul went up in flames But if you really listen, when the wind is blowing right When memories so cherished, still continue burning bright A spire will begin to rise into the darkened sky As love that never was to be, comes back to say goodbye It ruffles through the willows, in a song we all can hear It skirts along the dark blue lake, and then it disappears It’s on a journey now that no one ever can rescind My love for you that ever will be, wandering in the wind Copyright 12/29/03 Richy |

A spire will begin to rise into the darkened sky As love that never was to be, comes back to say goodbye It ruffles through the willows, in a song we all can hear It skirts along the dark blue lake, and then it disappears Richy~ I'm lost for words at the moment, but I wanted you to know I was here and felt your words deeply. I'm afraid my composure just slipped a notch. It's great to read your endearing words again.... Thank you for this. |

Was so delighted to see you here again. Had noted your absense. Hope all is well. This poem is a rendering of deep sadness, and I hope that all rests well with you. TD |

Richy...The smile when I saw your name, replaced by sadness at this poem of such heartache. A hug to you, my friend, and wishes for peace in your life. |

Bluesy, that’s such a sweet thing to say. Some people can feel things in life, that are expressed, without words... Thanks so much Bluesy, for being one of them... It's so nice to talk to you again! Hi Kathleen! Yes, all is well. I’m still smiling, aint I? lol Thanks so much for the warm reply, it’s always such a delight to hear from you! Oh Martie, please don’t be sad. Sure, we all have a little heartache deep inside. But all in all, I’ve had one helluva life... lol Blessings to you for the hug. That alone, will keep me, always... Thank You Foxy Oasis! I so appreciate your kind words. It’s nice meeting you! Richy |

Your rhyming here is so yummy. The whole time I was reading, I was thinking, "smoke signals". Your words, described here, are like ashes, forever grazing the land. McLean |

 (big angel hugs) Oh Richy, this is so very sad but beautiful, sweet friend, your feelings mirror those I have in my recent love poetry, that I hold to my heart as sentimental value because I hate to see it thrown away like a child's toy box! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are so deserving of greatest loves happiness always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Beautifully written m'friend..so soft and tender. Maree Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

"...Your everything that matters in the universe within A song without an ending that we happened to begin" i wish i have your gifts, maybe if i do, and maybe, if i could write thoughts as wonderful as these, maybe i could capture the only person that matters in my sky. forgive and forget, |
