On The Wind

 




On The Wind


I left some words out on the wind

A whispered prayer, and said "amen"

I spoke into my hands and sighed

And then released them to the sky.


I saw your face there in the moon

For just a moment and none too soon

All day I'd hungered for your smile

To come and warm me for awhile.


I heard the voices in the trees

I felt the soft, sweet touch of breeze

It touched my hair, it touched my cheek

I was so moved, I couldn't speak.


Leaning back upon my  door

My heart was full but needed more

The day was done, the night was long

My ears were longing for your song.


Do you not see? Do you not know?

My heart's with you wherever you go

A hundred lifetimes, a hundred ages

You're written here on my life's pages.


How my soul yearns, my body burns

Do you not feel me? Do you discern?

I need to hold you. I need to say

The words to make you come and stay.


Morning comes with rain and still I stand

Holding lonely in my hand

My words are out there flying free

Listen, my love. Can't you hear me?

  1. Very nice poem! She really lays it out there for that guy, (whoever he is). I especially love these lines:

    "My heart's with you wherever you go

    A hundred lifetimes, a hundred ages

    You're written here on my life's pages."

    Wow! I would melt to hear such endearing words.

    1. I originally wrote this for a male friend of mine and just rewrote it the other day.
      The original is on this blog somewhere, I think. There are over 950 pages on here so who knows? I can't remember if I have or have not posted things here or not and maybe reposted several times. But thank you.
