WHISPERINGS TO THE WIND 

I watched her go with my heart in tears,

Through hopes and fears 

Of losing her altogether,

 Seeing the dark sheet of separation within us forever,  

Everyone hugged and wished her goodbye,

My lips smiled but I sighed wanting to cry,

I was about to lose it all,

My love, my life, all happiness big and small,

 But then I saw her, so gullible

And vulnerable,

I turned back and when no one was there

I whispered to the wind and the soft flowing air,

To guard her, shield from the bad and take care

Of her, on my behalf, for I would not be there,

To guide her, be her beloved and hold her in my arms,

So dear wind! Be her guide, protect her and please keep her away from harms.
