Conversing with the Breeze.

Conversing with the Breeze.

A Poem by Brighid an Lasair
"

Older piece from about 2005.

"

From the highest rooftop gracing the skyline of Boston,

I gazed off into the depths of space-

Searching for something-

Finding nothing-

At the same time,

I didn't know what I was looking for-

This rooftop ledge had become safe-

It was my sanctuary-

The place where my feet could fly-

As I dangled them over the edge-

Of this peaceful sky scraper.

And from the streets came the breeze-

Running swiftly behind my knees-

Sending chills up my spine-

As I watch newspapers fly-

Up to greet me-

Among a whirlwind-

Of discarded city debris-

I take to my feet-

Allowing my knees to bid farewell-

To their beloved breeze-

Knowing there will be other nights-

Much like this-

Where they will converse-

And send chills up my spine again-

As I stare out into space.

So beautiful and peaceful. The imagery here is wonderful I can see the whole scene as it happens and that's really truly lovely. Its like spying a personal and peaceful moment meant for no one's eyes. This really calmed me.

Of discarded city debris-

This was my favorite part it made the city seem so peaceful and quite. And while the city can be a beautiful and peaceful place it is hardly ever quite. I also love how you take regular city litter and give it life and make it seem kinda beautiful.
Much love,

Just a few facts about me: I grew up just outside of Boston, I absolutely adore it, even now. I'm a huge fan of the arts in general. Many of my pieces were written in 24 hours diners over cu.. more..
