Question the Wind

your elusive spirit is chased through halls of knowledge onto cobbled streets where Montreal men and country wives meet another place interrupting time but you have special talents no homestead mule as a seer coins will follow even the breeze warmly pursues you nights of dreaming without sleep days of romance and poetry Mon Dieu! Was that you? cornfield hair races past heels skim across the greasy stones like hooves then cooingly whisper in the passionate grass afire and his anticipation is the bellowing wind 11/01/19

Ah, the wisdom of love far excels all other mellifluous sagely pursuits. You expressed this free-hearted spirit so well in this breezy fine poem, Phil. Reading your poetry is so muse refreshing. Especially while listening to Bob James' song, "Sun Runner." Pure sapphire poetry. Love and peace forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb17EazUP9w

It seems with the help of your instrument the wind is making music again. Or perhaps you are the wind.

Yes, Richard, I still talk to the wind and sometimes she plays the flute for me and other times we just hang out in the trees, lol. Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it.
