The Heart Of The Wind

Awaken at dawn

to sounds of swirl

Youth's memories rush forth

from far side of the world.

Through bedroom window

I'm ecstatic to see

A whimsical scene

midst the backyard trees.

Trees that stood frozen

and bare for so long

have escaped from the slumber

and are dancing in song.

Lilliputian leaves

whip wild in the wind

whirling and twirling

they flexibly bend.

Swirling and swaying

a Broadway opening night

Twirling and whirling

nature's treat at first light.

Ratatat on the window

twigs call me to play

ratatat on my heartstrings

now do not delay

Come spin 'neath my branches

feel my breezy caress

Let our energies mingle

two hearts in one breast.

Beautiful and amazing use of words.
"Come spin 'neath my branches

I felt this and wrote "Rush"
Though there isn't a physical second hear next to me
But i felt that morning Rush thinking of him

Stunning every word is a burst of happiness

Playful words and lovely scene with so much "wind", love it.

i think nature reminds us...if it seems our careers are over (our love lives)...

we can reopen the show, if we give our hearts half a chance...and maybe still score with a hit!

i really like the metaphorical feel of this piece.

Thanks Jacob, I agree that nature does remind us at times; to pay attention. When we do, we are rewarded richly.

Thanks for the positive review. I really love the energy of the wind, and how I feel so connected to it.

[Peter Rogerson]

Quite a readable effort, but I found that the use of half-rhymes sometimes slightly clashed. However, jolly good.

I loved the energy of your words.
