The Winds Words

The Winds Words

As the wind wraps itself round the house and it winds
and caresses, impresses its will on my mind
Then I fight for my freedom, my own way to choose
as it whispers “Come with me, only then can you lose
All the tightly bound ties, gain your bright strangled dreams
come with me, we’ll soar in wild, fanciful streams,
Leave your world that is weary, the troubles and woes
come and be happy where anything goes
Where you never need worry what others may feel
for your own needs and pleasures are all that are real”
The wind’s words are tempting, and they waken in me
a deep selfish longing for my soul to fly free
Yet it’s warm and it’s safe in this cosy old home
so…..I may go tomorrow……..but I probably won’t .

Originally from Guernsey, but now living in Sussex, UK, I started writing poems and song lyrics when I was 16 or 17. I celebrated my 70th birthday last year, and am hoping that I've improved a little during the years between. Been published and also broadcast on local radio. Would love to be rich just so that I could visit Canada more often.
