The gales of Winter

Just words

                          The gales of Winter

Lake or sea, the mighty water never sleep. When the sea is quiet, the lake is resting. Danger is near.  I believe, all of us, are like the long river.  We live a endless journey, trying to find our proper place.

The gale of Winter remind us. We shall struggle, fall and rise. We will seek life, we will seek death. We will lie, we will tell the truth and one day. We must face, what we became.

Once I pluck a rose from a garden, I kissed the rose and I touched a thought of you. I remembered, somewhere in time, we knew the hush of peace. We painted a canvas of dance, laughter and  white lies. We didn't know, love was allusion, a Summertime wish. Now the night is silence.

I remember the nightingale song where love rendered us helpless. Now a divine memory, I am trying to find.

Once kind love made me breathless, unbridled my heart and made me want everything. The cold sea and iced-up lake taught me. The parting song of love is never sweet.

Maybe in the Spring, I shall find a open meadow and pray to Eros. Please send me a kind woman, allow me to know the fragrance of love. This time, I will be kinder and wiser. Ensure my beloved know she is the moon, she is the stars that brighten-up the night and my sun, that warmth on my face. 

Maybe we can find the sea, maybe we can dance with the lake for evermore. Maybe we can learn.  Love is life and life is love.

dear John... a dance is made for feeling the music of life...
a cricket on the hearth... a baby crying his first word with
toes wanting to dance... a bird hatching from an egg...
wanting to chirp, "let's dance"! Never too late to feel the
symphony of persuasion.. a lovely poem with hidden melodies
to tango and waltz... as ever, Pat

Life is love and love is life...
Well written my friend. Everything that gives us joy in life is free and usually in abundance around us. All we need is to take a look and realise what we are missing in our chase for success..

Ah Coyote John, you capture that heady mix of Native American belief and romance on a canvas of nature's colours and let us watch it through the window of a soul filled with love.

there is always a calm before the storm...and the waters get restless...
and hopefully spring brings a tender love...and the seas can quiet.
intriguing write.
