Question the Wind

your elusive spirit is chased
through halls of knowledge
onto cobbled streets
where Montreal men
and country wives meet
another place interrupting time

but you have special talents
no homestead mule
as a seer coins will follow
even the breeze warmly pursues you

nights of dreaming without sleep
days of romance and poetry
Mon Dieu! Was that you?
cornfield hair races past
heels skim across the greasy stones
like hooves then cooingly whisper
in the passionate grass afire 
and his anticipation
is the bellowing wind

Ah, the wisdom of love far excels all other mellifluous sagely pursuits. You expressed this free-hearted spirit so well in this breezy fine poem, Phil. Reading your poetry is so muse refreshing. Especially while listening to Bob James' song, "Sun Runner." Pure sapphire poetry. Love and peace forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb17EazUP9w

It seems with the help of your instrument the wind is making music again. Or perhaps you are the wind.

Yes, Richard, I still talk to the wind and sometimes she plays the flute for me and other times we just hang out in the trees, lol. Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it.
