send me a wind

* this is one of my favorite poems i wrote way back in 2003 *

hey

you there

sitting

on your throne

atop

the clouds

send me

a wind

strong enough

to carry

me to you

for

my wings

are too

small

and feeble

to lift me

to your

kingdom

for me

to worship

you

and

your body

palpably

with my lips

and to hold

and feel

your skin

with my being...

hey

you there

god of my skies

catch

a bird

and listen

to its song

for

i've whispered

to it

my longing
