Playing With the Wind

The sea has captured her spirit She's back to play with the wind Distant from safe harbours A new adventure begins... All alone She sets sails Like in those yesterdays Without a place to call home Without a man's tight embrace. This island girl travels on water In a dolphins' free world Away from each pathway Far from a dry desert land. She follows the first spuming night-star In moon -lit shadows She bathes With dawn's early bird song She sketches the sunrise and a hundred shades. She paints unshackled hands, Unforgotten face through all faces once met in cotton clouds' shapes She scribbles the same name on a creased sheet of paper from all other recalling names. The sea has captured her spirit She's back to play with the wind Distant from safe harbours A new adventure begins... Surfing on a spring-tide A sea-man she sees She wonders in secret If He's the one in her dreams. There are rough crossings ,deep currents and strengths to achieve Yet She keeps on going Reaching for the sweetest breeze. The sea has captured her spirit She's back to play with the wind Distant from safe harbours A new adventure begins..

I love the poem, especially the chorus which for me could be repeated on and on.

This is another great piece! You had better let that girl know that some winds are more like tornadoes. She may end up in the land of Oz. I really love "In moon lit shadows she bathes"...it is nice to know that your pen still works....TAH

I have never thought of the wind, as an artist or sculptor but, you paint her work well.

This poetic trip though your imagination is, thought provoking, descriptive, and creative all rolled up into a beautiful poem. Your poem express great emotion and carries a consistent theme through out the poem with little wording and that is hard to do. You have painted a picture with words that tantalize, teas and catapult the reader into a fantasy as we experience your passion. Emile.

Your writes deserve high praise.. you write from inside your soul. Everyone can see it. You are what I try to be. I only want to write what I can feel. When you write like that you expose your inner being. So it feels like people know you well, people you've never met like me. It's truly magical!
