Whimsical look



That whimsical look-
How shall I express it?
When lovers departed,
When we left our houses,
When we broke our roots.

Something deeper we felt
than the passing winds.
Something deep stirred
And made our horizons silent.
Something more than words
That our tears conveyed.

And we are swept ashore,
We witness a whirlwind.
And we leave our taverns
Closing the dales behind.

And for a moment we close our eyes,
We gather our years deep in our breath.
A sigh is released unto unsung moments
And walk our way to unknown dales.
