A wisp of scented breeze
Over gently stirring fields
If time is here at all
Then it must be standing still
My heart escapes my chest
A balloon without a string
The body that it left
All the evidence it came
I want to drift away
Where the mountains meet the sky
Ascending on the storm
Like a bird
I want to disappear
Without waving a goodbye
The sun to keep me warm
On my way
A wisp of scented breeze
Is my harbinger of grace
If pain was ever real
Then it must have been erased
My dreams escape my head
Like a flock of winter geese
These endless numbered days
Are the path to my release
I want to drift away
Where the ocean hugs the shore
The tide beneath my wings
Like a bird
I want to disappear
Like the early morning dew
Alive again and new
On my way

I love it 🙂 I can feel the drifting and free feeling. Great work as always, VW !
Thank you, Autumn! 🙂
“on my way” so beautifully put. Thank you for once again blessing my eyses and heart with your artistic skills.
Thank you, Lydia! I’m glad you took time to read it!
“I want to disappear
Without waving a goodbye”
I know (I think) that mood, that same feeling, that almost longing
The generous part of me says, “On you go. God speed.”
But the selfish part says, “Not yet please. Our knowing of one another is not yet over and I want to give and receive more than we have yet managed.”
The key word here appears to be “yet”, I see.
I am somehow very thankful for your selfishness, my friend 🙂
What a relief. 😀
Glad to hear that 🙂
Wow Vampire….that was incredible…so alive and free feeling….felt like I was there…just lovely
I am glad you were able to feel that way! It must be lovely
What a beauty… to just be one of thr birds and feel the freedom of the air up there
or may be just be a breeze….but not yet..
Thank you very much, Soma 🙂
I love this one and can relate to it very well – those images of release, of your heart as a balloon without a string! Wonderful. I need to come back and read this again when I have a chance. (This will go down as yet another favorite!)
I am glad for your kind words, Betty 🙂
This is so beautiful it is either that once in a lifetime moment of true ecstasy, or the that second the soul leaves the body at the end of it’s life……. or maybe something completely different but as ever your poetry takes me to places I have never been before! Thank you .
I am grateful to take you places that are peaceful, my friend 🙂
What a beautiful poem, I would too like to drift away…..
Perhaps one day we shall
You and Me both VW… oh to just drift away and vanish! Poof! into thin air.. And join the cosmic universe.. in unconditional love..
Another excellent Poem… Love and Light sent your way xx ~Sue
It certainly seems like a wonderful thought
LOVE IT 🙂 VERY WELL WRITTEN 🙂 ❤
Thank you, my friend! I’m glad you were able to stop by! 🙂
I always feel your words in my heart… I could envision your words, smell the breeze. ♥
Thank you, bipolarmuse 🙂
Very beautiful, dream, waltzy poem to describe how many of us feel at times, especially when we are outdoors in a beautiful setting and wish we did not have to go back inside to the same ol’, same ol’!
Thank you, granbee
You write beautifully….I read your post over at Feb Poetic License, and wanted to check your blog ~
I like the nature weaving in your words… there is hope at the edge of the shore ~
Thank you so much for entering my realm and taking time to comment. I hope to see you again!
What excellent work. This is so well crafted and shines with excellence. I love how the meter — that first stanza is amazing!
Thank you, sir! What a compliment coming from a master like yourself 🙂
That’s a very nice thing to say. I just administer the zumpoems site, but very impressed by your work!
SO WISTFUL AND GRACEFUL ……….
I GOT CAUGHT UP ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE 🙂
SO LIGHT AND RISING UP UP UP IN HEART 🙂

It is certainly something worth hoping for, isn’t it?
Oh yes, you are not the only one waiting 🙂
Andrea

Reading this makes me feel weightless and so light… Your poem gives my heart wings and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙂
That is a very kind thing to say. Thank you so much, my friend
I mean every word 🙂
Your words are a blessing
“If time is here at all, then it must be standing still” . . .
This is the key that unlocks this poem for me–for “time” above all is the delusional gravity that binds us to the earth and pins our pinions.
Cheers Mate,

I’m sure Einstein would agree with you. Time is a commodity that seems to never lose it’s value, although I think we have yet to grasp the true nature of it. Chronology is perhaps the most mortal aspect of our understanding
I want to drift away
Where the mountains meet the sky
Ascending on the storm
Like a bird
A paean to life! A song to the wonder inside us.
Escape from time and find
tide beneath my wings
Like a bird
Great poetry.
Thank you very much 🙂
Wow V, you always get to me. Another in the bank!
It is good to know something is in the bank as a result of my rhymes! 🙂
