Another Poem from a Few Weeks Ago...

[note: at first, I wasn't sure that I wanted to post this one, but I've since decided to.]

The Echo

.

Say that you love me.

And I will love you too.

Let life take us where it will.

-

The softness of the wind

breathes softly through my hair.

But you dislike the breeze.

You cannot see where it ends

and so you fear its magic.

-

Take my hand

in your own strong grasp.

And we will walk together.

-

The path stretches before me,

and I journey beyond the signposts

that I couldn't even read.

You demand a map

and always seek the destination.

-

I would offer you my heart.

(You already live inside it.)

Would you guard it well for me?

-

And I dance,

twirling soft and free,

not thinking, only living.

It is reckless, you say, dangerous.

You dare not loose control.

-

For love of you, my heart aches.

If I whisper,

will I hear your echo?
