Carried By A Breeze Poem by Elbert Matt Loubser

I sit upon the roof of the world
And wait upon the assembling breezes
Which have grazed your face
And come swiftly to touch mine

They have enveloped you
And gently stroked every contour
To carry small pearls of scent
And deliver them to my wondering

Your fingers they have caressed
As mine have caressed your skin
And bring it to my soul
So that deeply I might feel it

They became your breath
Which is replenished in warmth
And next to your beating core
And fills me much the same

They have stroked your lovely lips
And hurry to kiss mine
Before the warmth of them is lost
To make our lips join through it

The waves of your hair
Gently lifted and pulled
Are like the ebb and flow
Over the contours of my face

The swirls they form around you
Chase to swirl around me
So that the shape of your embrace
Covers all that I am

Your tears they carry
And as a light mist they come
To moisten my cheeks
Where my tears join
Where your cheek longs to nestle
Where your lips yearn to embrace
Where your fingers long to caress
Where your warmth, ever so pure

Warms more than any wind could ever diminish

And gently the sweet sound of your voice
Carried by these breezes
Fills my ears
And forever resonates within the halls of my heart
