Petals on the Wind

Early in the morning as the sun began to rise as the birds began to wake and fly into the sky soaring high above her head in the misty morning dew while the rivers trickle onward to greet the day anew. she stands along the banks amongst the waters streams dropping petals, one by one, Into a sunrise beam Chanting their names with each petal that falls she whispers upon the winds to all For the existence of a love not found to never make her heart be bound her words, she called with each petal tossed a love she never knew, a love she never lost Protect my heart she silently prayed from a love that can never be made This is my wish, she closed her eyes her heart cried out in pleading sighs A man who's gentle, oh but strong A man whose heart, she would never belong A gentle touch, a warm embrace that certain look upon his face Soul of fire, Spirit of good Straight and tall, the way he stood A wise mind and a creative hand could melt my heart from a faraway land a man of silence, a man of words a man of kindness, a man absurd One with the creatures high and low one with a presence all would know One like the lion, with the lamb in his eyes One who could understand my cries A rider of the endless nights underneath the moonlight bright these things i plead to not make live to save my heart so not to give she ended her words and gave her thanks and walked away from the riverbanks she saw not what happened next the petals she threw bent and flexed they rose upon the air and swirled dipping and twisting in the winds curl she continued on her way knowing her heart would never be swayed the winds they laughed and began to play whispering amongst their magical way the petals danced their way to the door of a man whose heart was nevermore hurt and sorrowful he bled of a love he'd never had the wind it swirled around his feet up to his hands the petals did meet at that moment she felt her heart its beat had changed she felt a part of something she had never known touched by what the winds had sown she felt his presence she felt his sorrow the winds just smiled and whispered tomorrow....
