Caught

Wanting to understand
Listening to the words
Not knowing 
Understanding the pain 
Understanding the loss
I just listen to the wind 
It moves through me like the breath of God
It moves over me like an artists’ brush
It runs through my hair 
Flows through my soul
And leaves with a whisper
Like she never visited at all
Just be on…there is love
Alone with my thoughts
It is love that graces me 
That moves me 
Causing feelings to rise
To emerge 
Wanting to pass through 
Getting caught in my throat
Why do I hang on so
Allow to rise 
Time heals
That which is broken within

(That which flowed through while listening to Alcatraz by Hey Rosetta)

Gordon, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you - I did read one of your poems - that seems inspired by some unnamed Guy running for president -
