A Lyric In the Wind-Nw
From your blooming garden of yearning
The scent soared high in the spring wind
In which floated the fervent words of verse
You wrote with the rhyme of your heart.
The storm sweeping the somber sand of time
Rose from the clouded cauldron of strife
The squall carried away the note
Beyond the hazy horizon it disappeared.
Through the dense dust of despair
Swirling with the shards of the fallen sky
The last rays of the spent sun trickled
Its spectrum suffused the ruins of my dream.
Across the silver lines of the cloud adrift
Through the golden beams of the setting sun
I flew on the wings of the wafting wind
In search of your lyrical lure flying away.
As it drifted within the rainbow reach
In the hued ambiance of desire
I heard the rippling wind whisper to me…
‘you’ll catch the note at the edge of twilight’.
