Spirit Wind

Spirit wind
Feeling on my face
Butting in, smearing
My jowls relentless
Your muffled voice
A conglomerate 

I prefer the still
Silent air and the 
Sharp smack of heels
On the pavement

allegoryi do not know?

Hi David! If you'd thought my write was the "eye of the storm", I think this one is the passing storm. "smack of heels on the pavement", would feel like thunderous growls in the "Silent air". So wishing you the best! Mikki

Ah the struggle between wild and crazy and still and quiet.. in luv it exists forever my friend.. constantly working at keeping it balanced.. my guru? me myself and I .. but many things around me keep me intune with a Higher Source for guidance... sometimes I don't listen.. then I get in trouble..haha... so glad u enjoyed my "Fountainhead" for the new contest..
