Carpe Diem

Dropped to my knees I’d fled their cell of murmured spite Among the trees Emotions fell From dizzying hights The soft wind kissed Tears off of my cheeks Made puppets of leaves On stages of mist And cloudy peaks I stole back my heart from thieves To you wide windy world My heart belongs None could my skin so gently trace Nor sing such sweet songs, As you, and you so softly me enfurled Yet where are you for my embrace?

The line of that one song came to me: You fill up my senses (I think because it uses the image of the wind in the next line of the song). Congrats on your win and I love the title too.
