~ Words on the Wind ~
Your thoughts pour out on paper
as if sand shifting on a shore
grabbing a word to build on
as others remain obscure
within your mind
they ebb and flow as predictable as tides
while ideas like channel markers
guide you to where they hide
words cast upon the winds
ones tossed around before
as age and wisdom whispers
will there be more
when the winds blow in
and stars go blind
as darkness wraps you within
will the winds remember
the words you left behind

when the winds blow in
and stars go blind
as darkness wraps you within
will the winds remember
the words you left behind
A lot of pathos here--makes you wonder what it is all about.

This is rich as good fruit cake but not heavy or stodgy, and I like in particular how the poem grows in intensity and depth as it unfolds and ends wonderfully, those two great last lines. Kudos!
