Earth Fire Water Wind

A Journey With The Wind. I had a dream that felt greater than reality, lost on earth wearing a gown bare feet bleeding leaving behind traces for my sons to find me. My hand was begging reaching out suddenly, a feeling I held the wind, yes the wind in the palm of my hand a friend, to join me through that journey toward the ocean, knowing it will soon fly away, who can hold the wind and make it belong, I did. Wind Oh wind, meet my sons, whisper my name they are the ones who care, they will rescue me even blind folded, they will smell my bodies odor and sense where I am. Oh wind, you are the only one here on this earth I feel your presence, fly away now carry a tear place it on their cushion and deliver my message to them, I will wait even forever, bring them back to me. My friend my wind, search for them, find them knock, on their window If they are sleeping they will wake up & run towards me follow my blood trail find their way to carry me softly & cure my scars wipe away my tears & fear of drowning alone at the shore. Suddenly the light faded darkness took over covering the brightness away I pledged, mother nature I am not yet ready, sun do not burn and light a fire, Oh sun where are you , don't leave me alone, I started humming my babies melody to be heard and come to my rescue. Deprived to see them in the morn for years, deprived to look in their eyes, deprived to eat with them, drink with them, deprived to smell their perfume, destiny was against me due to the war in our country, for years they were always flying away around this earth, to settle. I felt cold shivering, suddenly the warmth of my children's breath around gave me the strength I needed, Wind! my friend! you found them and carried them across the ocean,Oh, the look into each others eyes cannot be describe, for the first time I felt they were real we fixed for seconds but a whole book can be created through the emotions and communications that occurred during those precious moments, a language of its own. The echoing of their voices was heard, what can we say mum except we love you for being there when we needed you,we love you because of who you are, we love you because you care, we love you for not sinking during our absence because we needed you on the shore, together listen to nature`s beauty, birds twittering, fish whispering, waves dancing & splashing. We love you because you find life in everything you touch, and if not, you blow life into everything, we love you, your breath has kept us alive, your breath is as strong as the wind that carried us to you. Come on mum, it was a long journey with the wind on this earth for all of us, lets go home, together. Contest,Earth Fire Water Wind for Debbie Guzzi (WIN Honorable Mention) Therese Bacha 26/4/2013
