Alone

http://onestoppoetry.com/
Free and chained,
your soul rises,
your soul falls.
You long to take a breath,
the taste of air brushing on your lips,
as the wind touches you.
Softly, lovingly,
seducing you,
to find the will to live.

  4. How close freedom can be, and how I let myself be chained. Grateful for every wind, whisper or poem (!) that sparks the desire to live more fully and freely!

  8. The wind does seduce us into wide open spaces... calls us to see things a bit more clearly out there. Heartfelt poem, thank you.
