Have You Seen Her Nw

A note to the wind 
sent on the wings of hope's demise 
she was the only person in my life 
who could make me smile ;

That laughter that once rang out 
through the echoes of my mind 
is now but a faint whisper, 
of the joy she used to bring. 

Stories of yesterday,  
                   etched on the sand dunes of tomorrow 
                         what am I supposed to do,
                                            with all this sorrow?

Oh wind, I feel your crisp sharp slap 
and sense you on ocean liners and mountain tops, 

have you forgotten to be gentle with wayward souls like me?

Memorandum of our lives, 
                 flying towards unattainable 
                                                        horizons ...

I feel wild without her, 
                        like an untamed you,
                                     oh wind 
                              have you seen her?

I wrote this for a contest Victor and the person who is running the contest asked that we put the initial N W beside our title, so they won't read it ahead of time, thank you for commenting, Victor,
