Summer Breeze - Mystery

There is mystery in the summer breeze that reaches back for me. I hear a warm, soft, scented breath whispering quietly. “Follow if you're bold enough to wander wild and free. I will take you where your jaded heart has always longed to be.” Captured by a hushed embrace as the earth dissolves from view. Ahead in silent splendor old dreams ready to renew. Lost within a Siren song no bonds restrain my mind. Promises from other days are shuttered far behind. Rejoicing in a noble dream once lost in an ancient citadel, new memories are now fashioned within this magic spell. Living only in a dream my soul at last obeys. Finally so peaceful - in a melancholy way. written July 6, 2016

A beautiful, rather haunting poem, Francis. I especially loved the line, "promises from other days are shuttered far behind."

This is a lovely one to read. It does have a hint of mystery to it. And the melancholy. That always adds to mystique!
