It carries the voices

Of souls cast aside

Spirits, now fallen

In a timely suicide

We watch as they spiral

Then die, one by one

Detached and free falling

Under October’s sun

Yet, they fear not their destiny

As they whirl and they soar

Swept away, once again

With the wind’s mighty roar

windows-1209555_960_720In the wee hours, she is awakened by three distinct knocks. Glancing at her husband, she scowls at him.  He is blissfully sleeping. Something is wrong. He’s usually the one who hears the noises. But not tonight. Tonight, only she is summoned by the hidden ones, who rustle you from a deep sleep, then disappear. Will they knock again?

Silence returns her to her journey back to dreamland, until, a whisper in the dark reminds her, not tonight. Tonight, she is the one who must answer the call. Disturbing no one, she gets out of bed, dons her robe and disappears into the darkness. Cursing under her breath, she closes the bedroom window, reminding  herself to tell her husband to cut the branch that keeps knocking against the pane, when it dances with the wind.

I want to float on the wisp of a cloud

Listen to the wind as it roars out loud

Feel the heat, from the rising sun

Inhale, the presence of day begun

Lie awake, in a field of flowers

Sit and consider nothing, for hours

Relax, and let the silence grow

Exhale, and let my spirit flow

sea-1259686_960_720Shadows wake in dark of night

Storm clouds carry on, in flight

I long to feel the winds that blow

Allowing my spirit to overflow

With thunder claps and lightning flashes

The beauty of the storm surpasses

What I could only dream to be

A tempest, flowing wild and free

forest-1377550_960_720
My spirit soars in the whispering breeze

And calms my soul, among forest and trees

The rustle of leaves as they try to take flight

Reaching up to the sky full of heavenly light

Surrounds me with comfort, one with the air

Awaiting the moment, feeling you there

Capturing my heart, once again, as you go

The wind, and my feelings, the ebb and the flow
