Wind scatters
dried leaves across
the neighborhood.
Cotton cobwebs
strung up by children
dance in the night.
Wind blows
rain against the windows
while you lie in bed refusing
to leave your dreams behind.
The chill against your face,
you wrap up in the scarf
I never made you.
Wind spins
the pinwheels you planted,
with the tulips in the window box.
You always loved seeing
rainbows through our windows.
Sundresses fluttering in the breeze.
Wind rushes,
spreading the dust, covering
up my footprints on your heart.
Hot August days, the only refreshment
while you're reading in the shade
of the old willow tree.
Our hearts break,
and our souls ache,
Even though you wont see me,
You'll always feel me...
as kisses in the wind.

Thank you for this amazing poem in my contest. I have read this over and over, especially the last two stanzas, you have one line that I love,
Wind rushes, spreading the dust, covering up my footprints on your heart.
It's not often I can pick out one line in particular, but this is yours.
I would have loved to have had three golds, but unfortunately that's not allowed.
I have book marked this poem to read again.
Thank you for sharing this...Sue
