Leftover wine

Just words

                                  Leftover wine

Once, you and I, we tried to catch the wind. Once, you and I, tried to touch the clouds.

We marvel at our world and we danced freely with the wildflowers and the dancing sea.

You were the prettiest and kindest woman, I ever seen. I loved your silence and I loved your words.

I told you. My life is to make you smile, to make you laugh and to make you dance.

You asked me often. What do you need? What do you want? I told you. My only wish is for you to be happy.  If I had one wish. The wish would be, for you to find proper place and happiness.

Life is still now for me and the stillness is accepted.  I have old memories and leftover wine. I lost my energy of youth and I have accepted less. Sweet lady, savior and sweet wish. You make me remember.

"Let the bells ring, and let the boys sing, the young lassies skip and play, let the cup go around" John Fletcher"

Today I have leftover wine to be shared. Still sweet and tasty to the people needing reasons to smile and be alive. Today I will dance with the moving water of Lake St Clair and whisper to the wind.

We get what we deserve. Bewitching lady, my sweetest breathe and lasting dream. You deserve wild free country, quiet cabin and a garden of wildflowers. Maybe caged man will find this utopia and know what is sweet and kind.

Your poems Coyote are filled with warmth, with love and memories. You introduce your love and respect for nature. Today I will dance with the moving water of Lake St Clair and whisper to the wind. When I read you I get the feeling that you are totally at peace with yourself, accepting and appreciating and grateful for not only what you have now, but for what you have had in your past. Thank you for this peaceful read.

Your words always hold a feeling of soft introspection. It reads like a deep thought held on a quiet morning. Paints a beautiful mind picture of love had, lost, and moved beyond. Fluid.

What beautiful memories that come to life in your words. And now we share the story with you, the longing, the loving place, that sacred dream, and all who read your soul here long for that dream to awaken somehow.

Love is finding happiness in the happiness of your loved ones...isn't it...
If we can be so selfless and love a person that seeing them smile makes us happy...that is a wonderful feeling.... and finally when we realise we all are a family and to be able to accept that... would help us liberate from these attachments and all other needs we feel on this earth... somehow...

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. When we are older and wiser. We learn happiness is more than us. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
