Lost In a Breeze

Is a smile so hard,
With salty tears
Pouring down pale cheeks?

Love lost in a breeze.
Twisting and turning,
Just out of reach.

Find me, oh love.
With fiery eyes
And arms outreached.

A path dispersed,
Like a puzzle
That's yet to be complete.

Where are you, oh love?
Wild and free.
Just like love,
Lost in a breeze.

Nicely metaphor! I picture a kite when its string has slipped out of my hands. I run after the string, but the kite soars. The string is just out of reach. I jump for it. And miss. And the kite continues to soar. It is gone. Just like your love here. "Wild and free" and "Lost in a breeze". Good work!...BH
