Murmur of the Wind

she feels cold, chilled, as though an icy frost has blanketed her.. it is mid summer the sun is scorching vibrant hues of orange.. yet she feels numb her pain is not visible to the naked eye.. she is silent, without words all she hears is her own murmur unaudible sounds; they frighten her.. the flapping wings of a crow startle her, it's massive black wings seemingly come straight at her.. the lull of the waves soothes her she feels safe, cocooned, mesmerized by the vastness of the sparkling ocean.. it is at this moment she feels a strength from within a murmur in her soul speaking to her.. guiding her, comforting her letting her know she is not alone as the wind sings a melodic tune.. she feels a comfort she thought long lost, never to be felt again while the murmur of the wind sings to her.. as the chill slowly subsides a flock of snow white geese dance gracefully in the rays of the sun.. she feels a warmth from within as she giggles at the tickling of the sand squishing between her toes.. where darkness once lived she now sees a glimmer of light from the sky, ocean and murmur of the wind.. she laughs and gleefully shouts "i will be ok", i am but a mere speck of sand tenderly guided by; the murmur of the wind.

How beautiful your words sound, Lynn! You and nature have such a noticeable relationship, not only in this poem, but also in in several others. Also noticeable is how you nearly always manage to toss your troubles over your shoulder, while gaining confidence to look ahead with hope and trust. #7 Regards // paul

Another lovely write Lynn, suggestion, whether it is a write about a personal experience or not, if you write in the first person your poem will be much more relatable and have more impact on your readers.

Hi Lynn, this is an excellent write once again. A well thought out and well written piece from your pen. Yes that wind may well take us where we have to be. This has such a wonderful flow and the images just sing out drom the screen. You have painted such a wonderful canvas. As you read you just feel like walking through the canvas, giving you a hug and saying, "Everything will turn out well now." The reality shines through. This has to be a seven and a fave Lynn. Hugs....Mike. XX
