JUST A BREEZE.. WHO NEEDS TORNADOS

Screw passion and turbulence.

Sometimes, I want my sail to be cast

Upon a calm wind..steady in its progress

Not having to fight the force to reach my destination.

Sometimes, I just want to arrive

Upon a journey that relaxed me along its path.

I want to search the horizon not wonder where it 

Can be found or where it has departed from.

I long to savor the beach , lull with the waves,

Feel the  salt spray upon my lips

As my skin turns a deeper shade of pale.

I'm really like this new direction of yours. It's clear you have your boxing gloves on and you've decided to set your sail and stop letting fear of the storm keep you moored. The last line was great and it seemed to resound with such strength that there was an echo in my heart after reading it. "As my skin turns a deeper shade of pale." Enjoy the moments, forget the storm, and live life unafraid of tornados and storms, enjoying breezes and beaches.

I'm glad you like the new direction. Enjoy it while you can because any day the Love and Loss Lamenting soul shall return in all her EMO glory.

hahaha We all have our moments. The only people who are always happy are the ones on medication lol

~ "a deeper shade of pale" is unforgettable... but i love the first line... i love the candour and the spirit in it... you're too cute... :)
~ that calm and lull you so poetically speak of would definitely be welcome sometimes... i especially loved these two lines...

"I want to search the horizon not wonder where it
Can be found or where it has departed from."

~ oh... and i absolutely adore the title... :)

[Southern Cross]

I had to work on the title a few times. This is the only title I ever had difficulty with and look who picks up on just that. :)

~ haha... :P ~ the title is just too powerful... it reveals the brilliant mind behind it... :)

Calm..steady..and normal :) The journey can be so enjoyable and it makes your arrival just that much better. The destination just appears even if it's never where you thought it would be. Wonderful as always..

Our lives need balance, I'm just finding mine. Thank you for your review and insight.

There is something to be about the calm, but then how would we recognize and appreciate it without turbulent wind gusts I suppose. Beautifully penned. Love this.

[Southern Cross]

Thank you for the review. I have had enough turbulence for awhile. I'm going to enjoy those calm seas for a bit but you are right. There is a place and time for everything. Without one we can never know the other.

[Frieda P]

Believe me I hear you loud and clear! :-)
my pleasure, welcome

May the breeze you feel only be as strong as the breeze from the blender making exotic tropical drinks full of ... well ... full of everything a tropical night can bring. If you see a bonfire way down the beach, drop on by... it'll be me, shooting the stars to find my position.

Great write. I hope you find your dreams.

[Southern Cross]

Well, then you need the help of the Southern Cross...It's what I'm most famous for..The stars and the heavens..Mix me one I'll be sure to anchor

[Michael G.]

Done! Aye, fair winds, gentle breezes, and sight set on the Southern Cross. I can hear the music. lol.

[Southern Cross]

Like you said Crosby, Stills and Nash

[Michael G.]

smiling. I like it when someone knows exactly the music I'm thinking about... and hearing.

[Southern Cross]

Or Styx..Come sail away ...come sail away with me..Now you have me singing

"Seventy-three sailed up from the San Francisco Bay... rolled off their ship and here's what they had to say..."

"Dreamweaver" Gary Wright just took me by the hand and lead me to "Sailing" by Chris Cross. Now I'm set for the night.

[Southern Cross]

My comp sound has just crashed. I have been trying to fix it since the last post here. LOL Great music even if I can't hear it

[Michael G.]

lol

[Emily B]

maybe it's because i'm getting older, there is something to be said for a hand holding stroll through pleasant weather, sometimes

[Southern Cross]

It's just easier at times less turmoil :(

[wolffman41]

Wow wow wow.......Think the passion comes out and takes over here with a bang.. leaves me looking over the past and see what beauty lies ahead.. have to say " Feel the salt spray upon my lips" really brings this as 1 of my top favoriets from you!! Beautifully done!!!

[Southern Cross]
