The Wind

I can hear
the wind outside
blowing through
the trees
longing to be
with me
and I with it.

I long to be
out in the night
feeling it on
my skin
tingling every nerve
rumpling through
my hair.

I long to watch
it gathering leaves
in its pass
whispering to me
as it wraps
around me
feeding me with thoughts.

I can only
imagine it
through my window
as a sickness
consumes me inside
taking me away
from my world I love
leaving me wounded
struggling to heal.

I press my hand
to the cool glass
seeking the cold
as a relief
through the pain
listening to the wind
my only friend.

I See You

I can feel
a darkness
around me
trying to consume
what is me
engulfing me
but I see you,
through the darkness
I see you.

I stumble
I cry
I even fall
trying to avoid it
feeling it tighten
capturing me
but I see you,
through the darkness
I see you.

I submerge
I hide
I close my eyes
to see past my fear
of never holding
or feeling freedom
but I see you,
through the darkness
I see you.

I laugh
I smile
no longer feeling
a darkness consuming
seeing that there can
be a light in my world
because I see you,
through the darkness
I see you.

Rise

I arise
looking below
at a girl crying
screaming with
an anger
she can not control.
I watch her
as she moves
as she destroys
wondering what
and who
she is
for her soul
is dying.
How can I
tell her to
subside her anger
to live
and not hate
how can I
stop her pain.
I slowly
approach the girl
hand stretched out
to help her
but freeze as
she looks up
at me
as I look
at myself.

A Dancing Light

In the calm
of the night
I see a little light
dancing.....dancing
bouncing through
the darken trees
tumbling, tumbling
into the night
beckoning for me
to follow
into the trees
the wind brushing
past me
pushing me forward
into the clearing
with burning fires
their shadows
flickering across
the trees
as they bend
swaying in the wind
back and forth
moving with the beat
the beat
of my dancing feet
in circles
in circles
around the fire
blazing up into
the night sky
revealing a round moon
behind the clouds
glowing down
into my open hands
palms up
head back
I howl.

Rising Sun

Awake to
the rising sun
rise to the song
of time
to bathe in the
waters of light
until the body
hurts no more.
fall sleep
to the moon's
deep glow
dream of the
days ago
and in the night
we will fear
no more
awaiting the new day
to soar.

A Candle Light

A candle light
dances around a room
flickering through
the shadows
as she slowly stands
glowing in the light.
The night descends
as she steps out
into the darkness
catching the moon
rising above
towering over her
with its light.
She lays down
in the dirt
closing her eyes
from the past
behind her
embracing the
soft wind rippling
through her hair
she sleeps.

Life Within

Rain slowly drips
on green leaves
soaking red lips
in a sip
of earth and wine
from a cup
that is thine
but slowly to be mine
in mortal kiss
under the dark sky
where the rain drips
from lip to lip
shedding a life within
into the sea
circling in sin
with the wind
into eternity.
