Wind of Desire

Ah wind I see you there so far

Windows locked entrance to bar

Yet I desire you like the morning star

Pros and cons in me wage their war

So warm and gentle your breeze

My battered soul you softly tease

Yet in coldness my heart freeze

Time has turned fermented cheese

Past betrayal and pains to avoid

Left a crystal crust filled with void

Dreams and inspirations toyed

Rainbows and moon light buoyed

Yearnings have ignited the fire

Poking the dying embers of fire

Flames to devour the wraps of desire

Cleansing the wood soaked in mire

Ah wind I see you so far yet so near

Window’s shutters blocked by fear

Yet you still whisper and call me dear

Walls and doors blown down to tear.

Dream Catcher

I wonder why the Native Indian dream catcher is made as it is.

Does it have a web to show the Complexity of Life,

Yet show all are connected because it is made of a single string?

Does it have a frame of a hoop as the Cycle of Life,

Holding it firm and intact, without a beginning and no end?

Does it have the feathers, for the heart to be always Light,

Dust away all that is evil, all the fears and worries and other negative spirits?

I know not, but a dream to catch I have,

May it be sieved in the web to cast the pride and selfishness away,

May it flow continuously in a hoop of hope,

And may it fly with bright feathers way up high
