Nature's Force
She sees the night sky in a way that I’ll just never see
And pulls me down beside her in the tall grass to tell her tales to me
She comes from magic it seems and I am bound by her spells
Her female alchemy just pulls my heart from me
I can see all that I need to see when I turn to look in her eyes
To know I’ll never need to find another dream
She is all I’ll ever need I know it deep in my heart
And I can only dream she feels the same of me
She’s one of nature’s forces set free and on the loose
A distant storm front that brings the thunder to you
A raging a firestorm that burns through distant green
A blowing vortex so large that you can feel it from a thousand miles away
She caught me at that certain time in my life
When I needed someone to believe in me
And so I lie in tall grass and listen to her soft voice
It carries me away to distant points I’ve never seen
The days and nights passed just like a dream for me
I guess I should have known that she was not to be
Just like the firestorm just burns a new space for a different tree
She left me in the night with dreams of what is meant to be
She’s one of nature’s forces set free and on the loose
A distant thunderbolt that brings the rain to you and I
A twisting fury of a tall plains tornado
A howling winter storm that blankets you in white
In the morning I felt down and out
But my dreams came back to lighten me
She showed me all I need to tread a different path
And now I’m looking out for love to come again
(once I had re read this I saw that it had a definite country feel to it, but take of it what you will)

Many thanks JF. It kind of tickled my funny bone that you used the phrase lessons learned since it's the name of the first novel I wrote. Of course that was a long time ago now. Still I appreciate your comments and take them to heart so "well written" is high praise indeed.

"Her female alchemy just pulls my heart from me "
Love that line doll. You have a way to my heart strings with your thoughts John, i really like them.
I get the country feel for sure, garth brooks thunder rolls flashed through my mind, in the best possible way. Always loved the lyrics in that, and capuring her spirit and pull on you that way was so nice. Plus, just reminded me of nights in the country during high school with the perfect boy, rolling in the grass. Also the Don Henly song, end of the Innocence came through.
Really fine piece John. You are a great talent i believe.

I really appreciate your comments Jennifer; though in my own eyes I have a long way to go to be a great talent I'm glad you see a flicker of it in my work. You know I've never intentionally written in the country vein. It just sort of rolled out of me and when I went over it I could feel that country twang to it. Oh well, what comes out will be what it will be I suppose. Also, I really liked your 'read' poem. It was wonderful. Was that a typo in the title or did you do that to fool with us readers? Whatever it was meant to be it worked out well. Excellent ink.
