Flowing around this tower
Feeling between ancient stones
Scaling walls
Sensing every outside edge of its solidity
Departing; wistful
Dancing leaves in invisible fingers
Along the path beyond
Returning to glimpses through arrow-slits
To life deep, contained within
Where a draught
Stirs dust motes
And the howling sound
Is bare whisper of its true voice
It longs to play with your hair – this wind
Caress your cheek
And entrance with inspired motion
The sparkle hidden within dark eyes
A door that opens only from the inside
Keeps this space
Sacred
Secure
No place to touch
Except these exquisite walls
Outside the soul of the wind longs to play…
