Zephyr's Ruffle |

A spring.... Tugged lazily toward the waiting sea, where foam shall dash the purity and waves rock the calm of it. A path... Wandering endlessly toward that which is not yet seen, as wanderers wonder of the horizon’s gift. A sky painted blue from horizon’s edge, daubed with white, might one be a reaching hand? Or, perhaps a finger’s touch as Heaven awaits the mortal soul, as Heaven awaits the last gasp.... Standing... A zephyr ruffles, a mockingbird cries. An eagle soars the boundless air, his freedom loftily flies... Oh bird above the chasm’s edge, above the grassy plain, above the narrow winding ledge, above the morning’s rain. Come to the arm of trusted friend, of he who treasures thee. Where mountains catch the swirl of winds...and springs wind to the sea. |

Fantastic read... Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
