Whirl of Wind

a 'stream of consciousness',
she said
just spill it...
write of anything
and everything
yet think of nothing in between
lest thoughts should clutter
verse in flutter
on the wing of butterfly
and now he cries...
those caterpillar tears
unspoken fears
of taking wing
his time to sing
as flowered masses gather 'round
to hear the sound of flutter...
in gentle mutter
of the wind in sigh...
and then I spy
a leaf in fall on dizzy breeze
drift through the trees
aimlessly...
nowhere to go
nowhere to be
spinning free
on wispy air
as ribbon fallen
from the hair
in gentle twirl
of finger's curl
in constant whirl of wind
a dream unfurled
no more a dream...reality
a heart has found serenity
and wayward leaf
is come to rest
upon the chest of Mother Earth
who knows its worth
and that of butterfly
who flutters by
on wing of gratitude...

and smiles

C'mon over here, girl...
I'll give you a shake.
Your muse needs to know
you are missed!

Vicky - shake that muse. You'd be shaking it well in this cold weather here, I'm freezing. I'd much rather be in AZ...

(does happy dance) Yay! Awwwwwwww, this is sooooooo whimsically beautiful, sweet friend, it always makes me happy when the cocoon or egg opens and baby birds and butterflies and children all bloom! (smiles) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Vicky, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Ahh Vicky, it's great to read you again, love your poem and the way it flowed beautifully.

if you are going to twirl like this, be careful lest you create tornadoes.

We'll discuss that in a later chapter.

I felt the giddygleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee in this.

thanks sister vicky.

Hey Vicky, how ya doing?
I hope all is good!

Funny thing that wind...

If it’s not blowing me one way,
it’s pushing me back the other...

Your whirl of wind, must have
filled my sails...

:- )

Your muse will be back before you know it.
In the meantime, just keep being your sweet self.

As always, I enjoyed your poem!

Take Care,
Richy
