Windswept

a simple love poem

art ~ Gary Benfield

Don’t hasten the winds that tenderly tease

and breathe gracefully, as the falling leaves

rain from heaven, as soft as tears wept

 

Let us float carefree, as wildflowers dance

in a warm embrace, with the ambiance

of beauty, forever, in our hearts kept

 

We’ll gather this breeze, this sweet disarray,

only for two, and here we will stay,

together in love and completely windswept

The perfect poem describing the feelings of being swept away by the emotions of love. Once again your images are exquisite and words so playfully convey the feeling of being windswept as if one is experiencing it in real life. A most creative and lovely write!

Everything about this, from the art to the style & color of the font, is in perfect harmony with the title & message. Many of your word choices support the "sound" of being windswept, as well as being gracefully spilling forth like a basket of colorful leaves *smile* I really love this poem! Fondly, Margie
