Soft and gentle Sweetest love Naked heart built in notes Crashing, raucous Blaring, shouted Calling me to follow Lost and drifting Always warm Wrapping us in joy Beating, twinkling Smashing cries Never with an ending Truths and lies and machinations Drifting all the while Whistling, daring, ministrations Finding all my dreams

The Wind
Gentle waves make grasses tickle Summer scents divine Lean into it every chance I get This warm air is mine Teasing, breezing, lover’s caress Living for these days Turning back the darkest clouds Cutting through the haze Heat and might and strength in one Forcing nature ‘round Twisting worlds and spreading life Sometimes crashing down… Continue reading The Wind

Opposites
Gentle flow like music Lapping at the stones So quiet yet permeating The mysteries outdoors Nurtures all of life From plants and flowers and trees To all the living creatures Part of nature’s symphony When skies darken Waves will crash Controlling all the land Shunting anything in its path Water rules it all
