Windswept Dreams

~ Windswept Dreams ~

 

Windswept dreams, a heart seeking shelter

weary from existing helter-skelter
in a catacomb of broken souls,

lost on a path that Fear controls

 

Windswept dreams? A romantic's passion

misleading the heart in dangerous fashion

eschewing caution when the heart is smitten

for a poet's love, yearning to be written

 

Windswept dreams, scatter far and wide

a Hail-Mary of hope, blanket the countryside

cross mountains and seas with humbled grace

and return to me with love's embrace.

having asked my friends to each give me a word. 

Below are the words they gave me,

and I used the ones in bold:

 

 

heart / windswept / smitten / dangerous / bereft /

mountain / emerald / catacomb / grace / humbled /

sanctimonious / flake / sylvan / bullocks
