The Kiss of the Wind

Don't look too hard......

The Kiss of the Wind

That breeze you feel on a warm May day

As you wander down the lane,

That touch of comfort that soothes your heart

And drives away the pain.

That brief respite, a moment's lull,

A leap from the abyss,

That feeling of a memory gold;

Bathe in my summer's kiss.

I may not touch you with my flesh

My arms may not entwine,

But that wind's caress my dear

Is my soul forever thine.

We may no longer walk hand in hand,

No words, yet volumes spoken

For in your mind our thoughts run paired,

A true love never forsaken.

Run up that hill, scale that wall,

Live your life with all your being!

Because you my love, my Angel Girl

Must fight hard and keep on living.

For in that act, my heart still beats

My soul on yours still dancing.

A diamond dream, a destiny borne

An eternity of joy romancing.

I feel your pain, I watch your tears

Through long nights never ending.

I see your heart weighed down with grief,

I see your knees a-bending.

But rise my love, let demons fly

Think not of me with sorrow.

Reach in and grasp those memories deep,

Take my hand and with it borrow

The strength you need to rise above

And reach for higher ground,

Remember my smile, my touch, my taste

And let love and joy abound.

I may not lie there in early morn

When the bed no longer feels

That warm support, a refuge strong

To ward off all life's ills.

But that breeze that spreads a tingle

And never will it's target miss

That my darling is my warm embrace,

My everlasting kiss.
