Captive heart

Just words

                               Captive heart
Divine woman love the Fall days. The cooler days make her wander into deep forest and search for quiet meadows and beautiful places. She love the feel of the freedom in the sacred morning where the animals run free and the noise of the city is faraway.

I told her. I'm just a beggar wanting the attention of content woman. You have capture my heart and thoughts. I will write song and words for you till you can only see me."

She laughs at my words and she told me. "We must drink in the beauty of nature, be kind to all living things and remember the living. Never forgetting the dead. The kind elders who taught us. Nature and us must be one. Dear Johnnie. You are my ray of sun in the mist of the cold days. My captive heart is your to hold till you become tire of me."

I brought her close and I whispered. I will never be tire of you. You are my day wish and my night dream. You made my dark days become alive and vibrant. I will love you forever and a day.

I liked the way you expressed what the nature expects from us.
The sentences are very sweet. I feel a softness in them.
The whole third paragraph captivated me in particular. Of course your end, the promise made said it all.
An artist only can converse with the nature like this. For others, it is just a season, geography or beauty.
Thank you for this write. Keep sharing.

I love her words ...my captive heart is yours to hold till you tire of me..... it's true people do get tired of others when love is not true.... how many we meet and part in the passage of life....but few leave foot prints on our heart ...this will always be remembered isn't it...Thanks for sharing this beautiful creation

This girl was following some Indigenous teachings, I think.

The words and the tone are both perfectly serene.

A beautiful photo. A needed muse to create today.

in a wispy sort of way...
