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!

Congratulations on your Book of Poems, Patricia.. I hope to acquire my own Copy if Books a Million ca order it for me. I have never personally ordered Direct from Amazon. Books a Million has successfully ordered Books for me previously. You are an Awesome Poetess. Gently, Pat

Thank you very much Pat, that is so kind of you. wow word gets around doesn't it? I have been careful not to mention cuz I am just here to share and read not to sell my book. Honestly I forget about it until someone mentions it. I have so many projects going on.

I see a homage here to the muse...moved, stilled, we stand before him or her and bend to the will that is not ours.
nicely done..and yes, as John says...much like a religious experience.

Thank you j. for your kind words have a wonderful day and hope your end of the state is full of sunshine, ours is full of rain but much needed

This brief offering describes what sounds almost like a religious experience. The root word of breath is the same as that for spirit, and the mysterious "he" does sound like a spirit. In the presence of such must we all be stilled.

Thank you for your kind words John, as always such a pleasure to see you :)
