Blowing in the wind
silent love lingers
on your trembling lips
as you slowly decipher
the storms of the soul
in nurtured desires
and a reverie of love
hides below the surface
of dreams and dither
finding shelter
in the hands of delusion
and the secret of love
from times gone by
now just a whisper
born out of ashes
but
like the circle of life
it cannot negate
thoughts of
you and me…
♥ blowing in the wind ♥

Beautiful message of hope, Amanda. Stunning photo. I love the song, too. The last part of your verse seems to suggest that our past sorrows cannot negate memories or deny future relationship. Perhaps I read more into it than you wrote, maybe not. Anyway, it’s lovely. Blessings to you, Amanda…

Excellent poem.
Some great thoughts accumilated in this.
Katie Melua, she is amazing.
I only wish ahe’d do more of her own songs.
She is a good songwwriter and it annoys me so to see people with genuine talent wasting it by doing covers
January 27, 2011 at 5:33 am
So sweet words! Loved the song too. Happy Australia Day!
January 29, 2011 at 2:44 am

Love is indeed like the phoenix… it has this amazing ability to be reborn out of its own ashes… and its this ability that keeps love alive forever…
I got really absorbed in your words and emotions here, Amanda… most artfully and beautifully conveyed.. they spoke to me on very deep levels…
Write on, sweet one…
Love ya loads!
