So Still, the Breeze
SO STILL, the BREEZE
the wind is shifting now throughout the willows,
it seems calmer and more peaceful than before;
I shake my head in quiet bemusement,
one never knows what the gods have in store.
Sitting on the jade-green grass I follow the stars,
they seem to be telegraphing a stoic silence;
A chill runs through me as the night descends,
and a secret tale of love seems to commence.
I've always wondered what the galaxy holds,
those mysteries of love and life beyond imagination;
And in the ruminating depths of my amazement,
the swaying branches reach up towards illumination.
So still the breeze--haunting me with ghostly pleasure,
enticing the emotions held tightly in my soul;
No other night has captivated me in such solemnity,
with calming visions reflecting my future goals.
