Wild Life

Wild flowers, 
  in her arms 
       to tame, arrange
Wild curls, 
  ringlet sunshine 
       to maintain
Wild eyes, 
  sparks of silver, 
       bits of grey
Wild words, 
  words she's thought
       and bound to say
So we wait, 
  and watch the scene
       to still unfold
So we breathe, 
  and strain to hear 
      the truth be told
So we taste, 
  and feel the summer 
      surge gone bold
So we dance, 
   as liquid light 
       to never hold
Wild steps, 
    upon the wild
        sleeping ground
Wild songs, 
   she softly sings 
      when we're around
Wild breath, 
   we breathe and breathe
       without a sound
Wild life, 
    akin to freedom 
        to be found...
