winds of love (gold)

Missing image



She was swept away
by winds of love
letting them pluck her from a field
of desperate flowers

(the chosen one)

with just enough time to pack
she chooses her heart
when she’d have been better
taking shoes

for when it’s all over
it’s a longer walk home
with ice cold wind
pressing at a tear stained face
than the journey
that lifted
and carried her to love

    Oooh this is lovely. A sense of sorrow, longing, even hope, and a softness within. Well spoken. Thank you for your entry!

    Beautifully done... the reality of being swept up in love... I love your line "better off taking shoes"... Your wry humor is the perfect counterpoint to the heartbreak here...

    I am unsure if I have words worthy enough for a comment on this darlin.

    "with just enough time to pack
    she chooses her heart
    when she’d have been better
    taking shoes"

    What an incredible stanza that melts into the next one flawlessly
    I am in love with this!

    Best of Luck

    Stay safe
    Love to You

    Beautifully written in it's deep sadness. A perfect expression of that picture and the thoughts it brings to mind for me also.

    Lifted up on highs felt, one doesn't often consider the consequences faced, when the wind no longer blows and one is dropped low. Nicely written with great imagery. Best to you.
