snowfall-16320_960_720In the distance far behind me
A tree stands faintly showing
Wrapped within a cape of white
Amid the sharp winds blowing

My umbrella yields no shelter
As I brace against the storm
Snowflakes gather round me
Like bees about to swarm

And still I wander on the dunes
Drifting high above the ground
And lose myself in howling winds
That nary make a sound

sky with bird
For a moment
I will stand and let the wind
Take my breath away
Pierce through me
Like a talon through its prey

For a moment
I will let the sun’s rays
Envelop my skin
Comfort my soul
Warm deep within

For a moment
I will whisk away
To another place
Forget about sorrow
Find a lighter space

For a moment
I will let my guard down
Give others a chance
To twirl to infinity
Get lost in the dance

Yet, for more than a moment
I will listen to my heart
The gentle whispers
Of loved ones gone
Wrapped up in my soul
Forever, and yon

Untethered

Beauty muted in earthly tones

Shades of green against the bone

The calling of breath, inhale, rescind

She is the quiet rustle of wind

Subtle, quenching breezes blow

Gentle whispers softly flow

Giving flight about the wood

Encircled, she is understood

She is the flutter of wings and feathers

A spirit free, never bound, never tethered

Autumn Bouquet

Swirl and sway with the whispering winds

Magic unfurls as a leaf starts to spin

Fluttering high on the wisp of a breeze

Below, the grass and flowers tease

Fairies dance in a whimsical way

Among the floral autumn bouquet

The Chill of October

Restless, as my mind wanders

And my body cannot find the way

Like the leaf so desperately clinging

To that one last moment

Until the wind, relentless in its fury

Captures me, in a single gust

Cascading, swirling, slowly

Teasing the veins of my limbs

With the chill of October
