Sheets In the Wind

Like a sheet blowing in the wind

Your hair flows gently

I feel your embrace with protection

Like the mother sparrow feeding her chick

The embrace nourishes

When the wind dies and goes where it goes

You gently tug my soul

It goes to where it's quiet and lingers

The sheet flattens

In that embrace I wait

Waiting is what matters in life

So in the quiet embrace we meet again

And hidden behind the fluffy cloud

The sun , breathes out peeking …

And the warm luxurious breeze captures

In it’s final moments, lips wet and our song

The sun sets until it remembers

"the warm luxurious breeze captures, in its final moments, lips wet and our song." Oh, my ! Such a beautiful thought. So soft and romantic. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. I'm curling your thoughts gently around me. ~ Brandy
