Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

My Heart Rode On the Wind

My heart rode on the wind

It blew far to the north

Turned around and blew to the south

It blew to the east with the rising sun

And back to the west in the setting sun

It blew the world over

But I could not find you

It whispered and it gave a sigh

It howled and it cried

Searching unrelentlessly

It climbed the highest mountain

It searched the valleys below

It crossed the oceans and seas

Wondering where you could be

My heart rode on the wind

It searched for eternity

But I could not find thee

Sharon Winter May 13, 2009 at 10:51 AM Oh Phyllis, there is such beauty here within the deep sadness and searching. What a magnificent write! A journey! I was held captive and enchanted until the ending so heartbreaking. Thank you so much for your kind comment. Often lately I cannot find the time, so I hope you will forgive me when I miss a poem or two. And about Fred, too funny! Warmest wishes always. Love, Shar
