I Threw Caution To the Wind

I threw caution to the wind
As I stood there on the edge
Would she carry me over?
Or just leave me on the ledge?

I threw caution to the wind
Never did I really believe
That the wind was ever kind
And waiting to give relief

I threw caution to the wind
And soared upon her wings
Never really knowing
The freedom that she brings

I threw caution to the wind
And what a pleasant surprise
The wind carried back to me
All that my heart desires

I threw caution to the wind
                   I threw caution to the wind
                                      I threw caution to the wind
                                                        And the wind carried you to me!

Guru Jad Date: 1/30/2013 4:49:00 PM What is most significant here is your ability of transcending anything into higher levels. Your will of casting negativity and clinging to Hope in nature and in humans is a progressive and well-appreciated. Today's poem is a novel view to a natural element. Within it, there is a lot of hidden elements. As humans, we are unable to foresee future - this mysterious realm. But with the blade of Positivity, darkness would only be gone to enable beams of happiness afterwards. I adore your writings.
