This is a beautiful, heartfelt piece Richard... it shows such warmth ,bravery and softness. " Love soft winds flow through" ... and I will protect you from any storm, because our hearts are now one.... and nothing bad can touch you. I reached by the force of the strong winds that blew me to your soul. I love the rhyming pattern here too Richard.... a scene from a love story. Well done!
Best, B.

Lovely review, Betty 🥀

True, an American~Welsh love story of reassurance (now, 7-years past), appropriately writ in a Welsh poetry form.
That you love anything about it is an inspiring gift to an olde bard's hopeful self. : )

Thank you, Betty, with my warmest hug! ⁓ Richard🖌

A very beautiful use of words. It was so descriptive I felt a lot while reading this. Freedom and love yet a certain element of something holding someone back. I enjoyed this poem.

Brittany,
You are very perceptive in your understanding of this hopeful and encouraging homage to one allowing their soul-mate's love and protection to overcome fear from life's and Nature's storms, so it can finally enter-in and persevere.

Thank you so very much for selecting this lovely piece to read and review for me, and most especially for enjoying it … my most grateful hugs to you, Brittany! ⁓ Richard

"I spoke softly, "Come closer Dear..." / Those strong winds blew my soul to You" - Love this line. Even from a storm comes beautiful things. Such comfort here. Lovely (:

Dear Poetess,
Any line, any word, literally anything you love is more than ample gratuity for my humbly earnest efforts, and I cannot thank you enough for selecting one of my poems to read, enjoy, and comment-on.
Your wisdom speaks beautifully … bless you warmly! ⁓ Richard

Soft winds and storms and everything in between, that's life. Once again my gifted teacher has thrown down the gauntlet for me. I will honor you with an attempt.

Though, not much of a review for this excellent piece from a form of my Motherland, Roland, I am honored you took your time to read it and that you are willing to give it a try … thank you! ～ Richard

[Roland Petrov]

I tried; I hope I'm still welcome in Wales.

Maybe, we won't have to release Aeron on you — we'll see how your Tawddgyrch Cadwynog turns out … LOL!
