Tears On the Wind
I turned slowly around and met tears on the wind
As from tattered cloud memories I heard once again
Every verse of the poetry we once composed
As we bathed in life’s whispers, so safe from life’s pain
When our dreams were last vestiges of fading love
And our smiles were like pages torn out from a book
That we used as the kindling to light our fire
Yet before we had burned them we took one last look.
Though the sun came and touched me, I still felt the cold
I was wrapped in a Winter of heart rending chill
That remembered each moment of all of our rhyme
And then left me alone, like a fool on a hill,
In the depths of my silence I wept in the rain
And I heard the trees speaking, as they often do
Then in some sombre way I felt mended once more
As her tears on the wind felt so near and so true.
Then I got up and wandered through wild garlic waves
To a glade of silk secrets that we had both known
When our feelings were all that we felt them to be
And yet feelings can change when two hearts are alone.
And when tears on the wind touch two souls once again
Through a rose briar arbour I stared into space
Where our deep mirrored eyes touched the depths of our being
No more tired and grey, just blue sea through white lace…
