Poem Artwork

Fly wounded bird,
soul of the world
Feel the wind in your feathers
Soar above the frozen rivers,
flooded plains and pines on fire
Sail on the winds of change
They will not  harm you
and the powers that be
cannot hold you
Let your spirit wander free!
We stand
between heaven and earth
Take us to higher ground,
the summit of the mountain
Cry wounded bird,
soul of the world
Sound the call of freedom!


(c) Linda Gayton 2005

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
