The Wind Softly Whispers Your Name

My wandering ghostly spirit 
searches for one I’ve loved before
as it dances in the shadows of night 
entwined in the pulsing rhythm of your soul 

A star was cast from Heaven to Earth below
searching for you my love...
as I wander in the desert all alone
 
Glowing fingers linger in the breeze
their arms stretched out to bring you close
close - to the river of my love
curving their light- to whisper in your heart
 
They softly murmur their sighs 
through the moon’s lovely glow
as they embrace the tears 
and faded memories that still linger in my soul 

I Run barefoot in the glow of the moon...
searching for your heart 
as the winds softly breathe your name across the Universe 
A soul held prisoner in my mind
helplessly confined inside this cage of fear and sorrow 

Empty lips tease and torment
trying to weave a dream that won’t come true
They swirl around me...
splashing my soul with empty rivers
as I search this barren desert for your heart 

Wanting to shut out this drumming of everything that I feel
Wanting to close the curtains to the world...
as I silently trace those remembered places of your body...
the memories of your face that linger and resound within my mortal soul 
While the wind softly whispers your name
