			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">The wind gently rolls through the trees<br />
Like a mothers soft whisper in her infants ear<br />
Telling her of things not yet unfurled<br />
But waiting on the distant horizon<br />
Like a run away balloon<br />
Swept into the abyss<br />
that is not cold, dark or lonely<br />
but quiet and filled with the warmth<br />
of a contented heart that beats<br />
not because it has to but because it wants to</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Dancing in pirouettes on the shoulders of the leaves<br />
Rattling the bones the edifice of this green breeze<br />
Until just one person stops to watch and listen<br />
To the secrets swept up by this whirlwind<br />
As the bones are rolled to reveal the truth that lies<br />
In the scattered remains, a world foretold<br />
But not yet cemented<br />
The wind is shifting in this dire breath<br />
Switching back from foot to foot<br />
A ballerina bowing and swaying<br />
With the whispering wind<br />
Dancing not because someone is watching<br />
But to release the rhythm bounding in her mind</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Clarity is the remnants of the words left behind<br />
As your hair is tussled and your clothing left displaced<br />
A clairvoyance unachieved until this moment<br />
All you needed was the gentle prompting of the wind<br />
Like a mother letting her child go into the dark, cold, lonely world<br />
That isn’t quite so lonely<br />
And isn’t quite so cold<br />
yes there is a darkness<br />
But your child will find the way<br />
Like a blind woman they will be guided<br />
By the caresses of the wind<br />
When all else is darkened<br />
There will be your hand</p>

<p>I just loved your hair, it had such a life of it&#8217;s own and really complimented everything about you. I saw you inside and didn&#8217;t get a picture of you and I was really sad but as soon as I walked outside there you were just sitting there eating your lunch overlooking Mt. Rainier. It was perfect. The wind kept throwing your hair around and making the red really light up. Anyways I just wanted to tell you, I love your hair and don&#8217;t change it.</p>

There is a message in a bottle<br />
Somewhere out there for me<br />
Lost among stormy seas<br />
And faraway lands<br />
I don&#8217;t know whom it is from<br />
Or when it will arrive<br />
But I know<br />
It is out there somewhere<br />
Searching for me<br />
To deliver its message<br />
It kept safe for me<br />
It survived the winds<br />
The hurricanes at sea<br />
The harsh unmerciful waves<br />
Passed from hand to hand<br />
Sea to sea<br />
I know it will find me someday<br />
And that day when it arrives at last<br />
I will find it among the rocks<br />
Nestled and safe<br />
Waiting just for me<br />
Inside is a letter<br />
About what I do not know<br />
Just a small little note<br />
From an author unknown<br />
Telling me a secret<br />
I have lived my whole life just to know<br />
For now I am waiting<br />
With my eyes turned to the sea<br />
Watching for the glint of a bottle<br />
Lost at sea</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">The woman walks<br />
Along in a crowded street<br />
Surrounded by people<br />
Yet so alone<br />
A scarf like a noose<br />
Wrapped around her frail neck<br />
Hands shoved deep<br />
Into her pockets<br />
She only looks<br />
At the ground<br />
The rhythmic step of her feet<br />
Her wide hat<br />
Shields her from the world<br />
She ignores them<br />
Is afraid of them<br />
She wraps herself tighter<br />
In what is safe and comforting<br />
And is content in isolation<br />
So she walks along<br />
In a crowd of people<br />
Without faces<br />
The wind picks up<br />
For a moment it whispers<br />
A soft secret in her ear<br />
A riddle told to fast<br />
As the wind<br />
Carried her hat away<br />
The woman let out<br />
A short little gasp<br />
As her barrier was removed<br />
She reached forward<br />
Fingertips grazing it<br />
Just out of reach<br />
As it bounces and rolls<br />
Along the dirty street<br />
She chases in vain<br />
And no one will help<br />
Finally out of breath<br />
And out of heart<br />
She gives up<br />
Standing in the crowd<br />
Puffs of winter breath<br />
Clouding before her as she watches<br />
Her hat dance away<br />
Her hair billowing about her<br />
Watching with sad longing eyes<br />
She stands still among thousands<br />
As she turns to leave<br />
A tap on her shoulder<br />
She turns in surprise<br />
A man stands before her<br />
Her hat in hand<br />
Holding it out towards her<br />
A smile but no words<br />
She takes it and offers<br />
A shy little smile in return<br />
As she starts to pull it<br />
Back into place<br />
He reaches out to stop her<br />
<em> Why</em><br />
He asks her<br />
<em> You have such a pretty face<br />
</em> He smiles and lets go<br />
Giving an impartial shrug<br />
<em> You don’t need to hide<br />
</em><em> You are beautiful you know<br />
</em> He leaves her with<br />
His few soft words<br />
And a knowing smile<br />
She stands there<br />
Hat in hand<br />
Filled with his offerings<br />
Her eyes are wide<br />
And her hands slightly quake<br />
She lifts the hat<br />
Looking at it now<br />
And tosses it away<br />
She watches it<br />
Flit and dance in the sky<br />
Gone forever<br />
She smiles slightly<br />
The stranger’s knowing smile<br />
She doesn’t need it anymore</p>
