A Breath in the Wind

Late Night Writing

 

my beckoning breath

floating off into

the darkness

 

where he flows            

like an age-old wind

that comes and goes

 

nomadic but not

without direction

or without reason

 

whereas I

feign both

yet, he comes

 

I stand before his

breath and bend

to his will

 

I am moved

 

I am stilled

I am ♾️ jealous of THIS! I wish I've written it or know how to do so! You were breathtaking and so now we are breathtaking... those mystical higher spiritual moments when words aren't enough to describe the feeling, yet You did it here, gloriously, sublimely, so deeply moving. ♾️ of 100 if I could!

[Patricia]

Awww thank you lightsong! You are too kind, infinitely! :)

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Patricia :)

So sometimes we go with the flow, eh? Your writing is both moving and inspiring. I'm impressed by your work. I enjoyed.

[Patricia]

Thank you Fabian, yes I just go with the flow, my writing is a hit or miss especially these days with writers block but occasionally my muse throws me a bone. this one was just to mark the moment to memory. I am glad you enjoyed my writing. I will return the favor, I always do, sometimes I am a little slow to do so as I am very busy but I always repay the kindness. Thanks again. :)

[Fabian G. Franklin]

It was my pleasure entirely. And please, read at your own desire and convenience. I'm not here to feed my ego. I just like to share my work in a public forum for whoever enjoys reading it. But I've written a few thousand poems, and a few hundred are posted here. So, there's probably something for everyone somewhere in that mix...hopefully. ;)

I have come back to read this one again my friend and to say that your presence on this site is missed when you aren't here. Take care.

Well bless your heart darlin’! Yes I have been dealing with a family emergency and now I’m sick probably from the stress of it all but feeling a bit better today. I think tomorrow I will finally be able to get out of bed and get dressed and maybe get out out of the house for a drive for fresh air. Your revisit put a smile on my face, thank you so much! Love P, HUGS!

[Robert Trakofler]

oh, how we can all use some more of those beckoning breaths:) and I see you have found yours and quite handsome it is!

[Patricia]

Thank you Robert for your very kind words. :)

You are so moved by a nomad but with reason and direction….” Like the wind that comes and goes” you are not so, but you are entranced by this “, moved and stilled” this is so powerful P, you are the antithesis of him, he moves you are still….beautiful….

[Patricia]

Thank you my dear friend! Those moments deserve at least a few words to be remembered by, they come some rarely. Hugs!

[Betty Hermelee]

I know what you mean dear P, and of course you're so welcome
Hugs,
me

[William Michael Reeves]

I like your dramatic antithetical end. Profound! Feigning direction and reason caught my brain too. This one is really good. Felt confident, if I could use that to describe a poem.

[Patricia]

Thank you William, very kind of you. You can describe my poetry any way you care to. :)

I loved the use of language dear Patricia.
"whereas I
feign both
yet, he comes"
The above lines. I could write a epic poem from. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thank you very much Coyote! So glad you like this one and yes please run with this and do an epic! I would love to read that!

[Coyote Poetry]

Tomorrow I will attempt. I work the nightshift and you are welcome dear Patricia.

[Patricia]

Make sure you come back here to let me know when you have completed it so I remember to read it, my memory is not what it used to be HUGS!

[Coyote Poetry]

Okay dear Patricia.

‘I am moved, I am stilled.’ I’m personally wowed by this line, truly just beautiful and the difference but the sameness between the two lines are just perfect and make the poem even more of a gem to read. The rhymes are spot on there’s so much to delve into and there’s just so much feeling to it. I love the passion in it, it feels like fascination and loyalty. Thank you for sharing.

[Patricia]

Thank you for your kind words Vertigo, I am so happy you enjoyed this one.

[Chris Shaw]

So beautiful is your expression here dear friend. Your words have a strong spiritual effect. Simply divine. Hope you are OK hon.
