Your Winds Brushed My Soul

You moved over me; tempestuous wind stirring my senses. And I, once the nonchalant sea, lost all flow of normalcy We were two impetuous forms of nature who could never live in perfect harmony. You blew across my tranquil waters spilling such treasures upon my shore. Then your breath was stilled... I felt the force of your presence no more. No moon had ever governed my tides the way your winds brushed my soul. I'd never been so swept away, never had I given full control. My waters ebbed in the wrong direction and there was no peace upon my waves. Is this what happens to ill-fated lovers when their hearts bleed in watery graves?

Loved it Lin, missed your pensive and deep writes! Sometimes tempestuous winds should just blow somewhere where they don't hurt anyone!

Thank you very much, Danny. I didn't think anyone had noticed I hadn't been around. I had a great visit to both cities.
