Grasping the Wind

Trying to walk on water
Trying to grasp the wind
always so close but yet so faraway
I'm at a loss
My hopes and dreams are dwindling.

My mind and heart are in turmoil
my soul lonely
battered and bruised 
I still have so much love to give
But without love
I cannot breath
and find it hard to live.

I'm sitting here wondering just what to say. This is so sad, yet so beautiful. I can relate to this, life can be so gray, and there is often so little you can do but just wait, endure and hope. BG

Thank you so much friend. I really appreciate your kindness as always. Seems being a romantic and. a good heart are not enough anymore. I'm not in to quick flings, I need more I need to have feelings. Trouble is that's what it's like today. I rather save myself for that one special person. It really makes me disillusioned. where have morals and self respect gone. I do hope you get what your hoping for and have better luck than me. take care best wishes thank you. Pete.

Hi Shadow, always nice to hear from you. Some people seem to have it all, but don't appreciate what they have. Having a good heart and being a romantic, does't seem to count much these days.Thank you for your kind words. take care, best wishes. Pete.
