The Wind and Sky

It was  in  Autumn 's signature
the smell of burning leaves
that I succumbed to 
distant drums
And bartered to believe.

Woodsmoke circled round 
and round
to show your misty form
you kissed my face
with love and grace
and told me not to grieve .

Upon the hill a wolf pack
howled out  my secret name
I shaped replies
in cryptic cries
and begged you not to leave.

You are the wind in winter
I am the Summer sky
the pain is sweet
we never meet
except in dreams we weave.
