Tears in the wind
from life seen and tasted
in eternity
past the boundaries of earth
past the last signpost
of this universe,

I saw
(but what did I perceive?)

little
that I could understand
alone
walking this vale of storms
of tears
in restless winds
--time's Autumn
weighs heavily on my heart--

a tumble weed
blown about
shifting sands
dishevelled, naked, hungry
lifting scarred hands
to unsmiling copper skies
I cried to faded stars
out of my pain

"Tell Me Why?"
--I heard my voice carried off
in raucous laughter
the wind's laughter

then
through my tears in the wind
I caught a glimpse of love:
took a deep, deep breath,
made myself understand,
quieting my trembling soul.

Another storm has passed me by:
only now do I realize
your arms around my shoulders,
your gentle strength
holding me up, once more.

Powerful poem WindWalker and that last verse was something else.

WindWalker, hold on to that treasure you have looked so hard to find. See where it takes you! :-)

You write with such power of emotion yet with the most delicate of penning.

I have been enjoying your poetry, WW!
