i think the screaming wind said my name
significance found in rocks
then the mountain slowly blowing
and the river
lost wisdom returns
and the sound of the river sighing
here's your home
under the ashes waking up
and the blue dusk slowly revealing
seeing the moon in the middle of the day
the gleaming stone
cuts streams i've been living, sleeping
now the whole world is flaming
or is it clouds rising through the trees
on the ridge?
i know the world is a flaming house
and what i hold
i will be grieving
and lost wisdom returns
watching dust dancing
living a long life growing towards form
the wind is persistently fleeting
and the song that cuts through the fog sometimes
is lost in rainy evenings
wrapped in fog
in the depths of the house
i followed a sound further in
and i saw you..
the screaming wind said my name..
we're under a freeze warning.
and just like that the cold returns
and i can sleep.
i'm the sort of creature that loves to hibernate
just cover me with leaves..
but with sleep comes nightmares
this time i was very sick, riding somewhere in the car with my husband
our old vw bug from ages ago, with my window wide open..
when suddenly i was sucked outside by the wind
and was hanging onto the edge of the door
by my fingers just barely
he didn't notice for a long time
and even then he didn't stop the car
to let me back in..
nightmare (sound up to hear the essential music along with the art)
when the terrors became too much for me
i made a decision and reached out
to an old friend to talk to..
just doing that has made all the difference
even so, i'm feeling like a ghost and retreating..
continuing in the comments..
