Soft Wind

Soft wind, warm and weightless That brushes my cheeks in cool of day And on warm moonlit nights of summer Let me lay upon your expansive wings Let me breathe deeply of your spirit Carry me o’er God’s beautiful earth Carry me across the turquoise seas Where silence lies supreme as dolphins play Listen as their bodies slice the oceans deep As the sun seems to linger enjoying the view Let me down for a while to walk bare feet upon warm sands Let me frolic with gentle white crested waves, then Carry me far beyond blue heaven’s dome Carry me to my Fathers’ home ~*~

I love this poem! It sounds so peaceful and it is beautifully written. It makes me want to walk bare foot on the beach, look out at the water and admire the sun lit sky.this is so lovely.

We will all make the journey to our Father's home one day, Annalise, and I hope it is as beautiful as you describe. I wanted to join you in soaring over the ocean and watching the dolphins play. A beautiful description of the "Soft Wind" that carries us home. Love, Carolyn
