...that secret seducer:

Did you feel it today?
The wind was a raging adventurer.
It carried the clash of swashbuckler's swords on a far off pirate ship.
It was thick with the perfume of newborn flowers.

I opened the windows and let it tear through the house.
It was electric, sending goosebumps across my soul.

I stepped outside.
It tussled my hair and absorbed me into it's strong embrace,
like a long forgotten lover.

 "This is a dangerous wind"
It makes my blood boil.
It breeds a wanderlust in my heart.
I want to pack my bags and find a gypsy caravan.

Nothing else in nature disrupts me so.
These wild winds.
This tempest of temptation.

Did you feel it today? 

-----------------
Hiding inside for fear it will carry me away from this nest,
wind-torn mama,
Mel ;o)

  1. I opened my windows wide to let that wild wind inside yesterday too.

  2. Oh yes, felt that strong wind today (made the poor choice of wearing a shortish dress... what was I thinking???).  Started off as wonderful playful wind, ended in a big barn fire not far from us :-( ... the air smelled like a giant campfire.
