Follow the Wind

And the wind blew long and low
Softly moaning to and fro
Calling with longing
Come let us go

Evening and morning
It cries ever grew
Cold and damp
And covered in dew

Caught in the passing
Of unending grief
Darkness surrounding
Sealing my fate

Crawling in agony
Painful and slow
Never moving onward
The cold aching longing never would go

Until underneath the fading light
The wind found me with his touch
Surrounded and lifted me
Waking me up

Blowing right through me
Taking away the longing
Cleaning and dusting
The layers away

Blowing away cobwebs so dense
Waking a new feeling of sense
Twirling and dancing
So giddy inside

Come join me
The longing wind cried
Dance here under the shadow of night
Hold close this body of light

Turn over your cares
Your worries and fears
Touch a new dawn
Wipe away those old tears

Join the land of the living
Don't stop that old fight
Move on ever onward
To unending light

My Dear Writing Friend,
I loved your poem. I sat for hours before my fire as I pondered it. And while I pondered my cabin was lashed by a windstorm, I was in heaven! I really found the topic of the wind very inviting, as I am a wind listener. In it I listen for words spoken from the Great Mystery. I love the fact I am powerless to stop the wind and it always makes me feel small, as I should be rather than powerful as we humans want to pretend we. And listing to the wind will blow ones hurt and negative feelings away. A beautiful word painting that was a delight to ponder, thank you.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

Things happen for a reason and sometimes at first it is hard to see why... a great piece of poetry.
