My Beloved

I make my way to you

Not knowing 

Where I may find you

A fumbling boy 

Searching 

For your warm breath on my face 

Everything carries me to you

The beating of my heart

The breeze floating against my skin

If you think me mad

Do not fear

Wrapped in your arms will cure me

Let go of your roots

So the wind may take you

Blowing you through the autumn 

Closer to your beloved

Thank you so much!

[D Connolly]

The poem makes me think of inconsolable yearning and innocence, and welcoming fate to do what it will

[Neal S]

Thank you :)

[Enigma Monster]

This is a beautiful poem. I love the way it all seems out of your control, or hers.
One thing...is it supposed to be "So the wind MAY take you"?

[Neal S]

Thank you so much for reading! And yes it is supposed to be "may". :)

I really feel the somber, yet somewhat positive tone of this poem. This combined with an easy, calm flow really helps show its significance. Was this your mother? Very nice piece!

[Neal S]

I wasn't thinking of my mother when I wrote this, but i'm sure it could relate to anyone a person cared about...Thank you for taking the time to read it.

[J.M. Wise]

I agree, nicely relatable.
