blow wind blow gently
blow wind blow gently
dry the tears upon my cheek
let me feel your tender touch
know the solitude i seek
gently stroke my hair
softly brush it from my face
just take my hand and lead me
on to some enchanted place
help my heart forget
as you blow away my fears
caress me with your softness
hold me steady through the years
blow wind blow gently
on my lips place one last kiss
tell me i can live my life
no pain, no sorrow, no bliss

Sometimes words just fail to express your real feelings and this is one poem that has left me speechless. I will just say I loved it.

I never read this one before, but in my defense I didn't even know AP existed then. In fact I was on the other coast, just days away from returning to Maine, Ah bad memories! LOL.
Ok, I digress, but that is your fault for the poem reminded me of all that...the soft caress, the leading to a better place, soothing ones hurt...and I agree, this belongs in your fav list.

Blown away
Brevity is the soul of wit: I am speechless. Well written. -
I think the picture came from someone else's post here on allpoetry. I liked it so much that I saved it and then when this poem came to mind I thought the picture would work great. And yes, Darlene, I can see your wheels turning now... even I can see a doll in the making... go for it

Beautiful poem and a beautiful picture...where did it come from...I can see a doll there some how...

Oh how somedays I want the wind to blow away the feelings of distress I get. I want them to erase some long lived pains, and then sometimes I just need the winds to blow the sweet fragrence of springtime my way.
This poem makes me feel a bit melancholy. It is beautiful and somber at the same time. Very simple, very soft, and filled with heartfelt words.
Pain has need of drifting off and a nice subtle wind might work my friend. Great write. I love the ease of your words.
Much Love,
Renee

to not feel would be the greater pain i feel. even though to feel hurts like crazy.

Oooooooh the picture is so peeeerdy...
You seem to feel the same way about wind that I do about rain. I wish the rain would wash everthing away sometimes when it beats down the hardest....
When there's nobody and nothing to turn to for support sometimes the elements are all we have
somewha comforting in their inconsistency, unlike people. inconsistency in people is for the most part a terribly annoying trait.
Feelings and fears won't go away, and it's a good job too cos it shapes who we are or who we become.
and makes us kick ass poets heheh

this is truly a beautiful poem. The flow was very smooth (something which is rare in quatrains lately) and I can understand the topic. One often feels that it would be much easier to just feel nothing than the turmoil of emotions that one has to live with every day. Nice write,
give me a view sometime
Love,

Beautiful and touching.
Dear Dee,
This is the standard of writing that I fell in love with when I first read your work. This is a beautiful piece of poetry ofwhich I am sure you are justly proud. No I want to talk to you early in your week about a couple of serious matters, one of which is those poems you owe me now that you are getting back into your old stride again. And don't think I'm gonna let up on you 'coz I ain't. The other is something personal but it can wait.
Well done. I applaud and revere this poem.
Love and Hugs, XXX Hugh. -
Another incredible poem. I've enjoyed all the poems i've read today....and this one is a Beautiful piece of work! Blow wind, blow gently.......wowwww.....the title really got my attention and the content is amazing. great job! keep it up.
-
Wow. I was really touched by this piece. It is so beautifly written. I know how that feels sometimes. I have a hard time handling some of my emotions now and then. And I can so relate to this. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed.
