Come, Be The Wind rickety old house with its sad nights lets the chill of loneliness in through the cracks in the floor; thinking back, I can't remember when I haven't been poor ramshackle old heart with its off-beat ready to fall, when a wind comes good, into a dried up dusty riverbed; whoever builds roller-coasters of wood is simply out of his head you are chaos and I need peace and you are something I must go through before I have firewood to burn; come, be the wind, long overdue, you are what I yearn come ride me, break me, collapse with me, it won't kill you, trust me, it won't, you are the storm I need, it’s true; teetering forever if you don't, I have the faith in you come, be the wind, tend an overwhelming caprice, give me breath, give me release~ and just maybe, at the end, we will both find some peace. |

"ramshackle old heart with its off-beat" You just keep doing it passing shadows, and I just keep loving it. |

Wow, I really like this one. If we can learn to work through our differences instead of giving up on each other so fast, some amazing things can happen in our lives... “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

what is life, but a thing for us to play a melody for the playing it becomes our friend working to better do ourselves during our plan to the end we ponder what is this stand to the end we are choirs like angels whose prose is more than words placed on the shoulders this is fun and to its purpose we are true bringing in the spell of the mighty pen. |

it won't kill you, trust me, it won't, you are the storm I need, it’s true; teetering forever if you don't, I have the faith in you this part touched me the most a poet who cares |

"ramshackle old heart with its off-beat" Hey, I've got one of those! And a rickety old house too. Maybe a storm would knock it down . . . |
