I write - XVII

The wind racing through my hair
Sunlight dancing on my lashes
Music strumming in my head
A song in my heart
Bursting through my lips

The deep rumble of thunder
A flash of lightning
Splattering raindrops
Freshly cleansed earth
-The fragrance lifting my spirits

Standing at the edge of a ledge
Jutting out at the river
My eyes closed
A smile on my face
My arms spread out to hug the world

From somewhere far off
Someone's calling out my name
The sound comes nearer
A hand shakes me
Forcing me to open my eyes

My dream's gone
I'm back in my room
Trying to fight off a deep ennui
Born of missing someone dear
I sigh as I pick up my pen

And write.
