Breathless darkness,
sparks in the air
Scattering stars
wind in my hair
Tumbling through fields,
light touch of feathers
Song of the earth
echoes forever
Heartbeat and dirt,
trees sway in the night
Shadows and flame
glowing orange, bright
Smell of the forest
cool air on my cheeks,
running, heart soaring
no words do I speak
Orion the Brave,
with his arrows and bow
he hunts in the sky
and the way he does show
Torches blazing,
beautiful night
hills and horizon
reach far beyond sight
Song of the past singing in me,
song of the spirit that longs to be free
song of the sky and song of the trees
song of the things that I always will be.

Beautiful poem! Very lyrical. I have to say, it DIDN'T make me want to go lay on the lawn - but that's probably because it's only 4 degrees here, and the windchill is 6 below zero.
Tell you what: I'll read the poem again in the spring, and THEN I'll go lay on the lawn! :)

Brother: Your character should drive a motorcycle.
Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!
So lovely.
So lovely.
