SOULS IN THE WIND

have you ever listened

to the wind when it howls

sounds like voices of lost souls

wandering around just looking

for where they belong

are they trying to talk with us

is that why the wind sounds that way

or is it just my own mind

hearing things not there

the next time you hear that sound

listen to it very closely

do you hear what I hear



or is it just me and my own mind

O yes Renee'! I have heard your haunting poem echoing the wind ... the wind is F R E E and so is our pain: it coils a life so carefully and ... we may let it BE you may try to catch the wind or attempt to touch your pain but release your loneliness and begin to soar again I love drifting off on the sound of the wind ... swirling swiftly to the loft of deliverance and dreams thank you for taking me to this unknown destiny I discovered once again it is sited inside me Myra
