The Winds on Which We Sail

Lorna



The Wind and its directions

Daily shifts our hopes and dreams 

Northerly the winter gales and frost

Keep us together

Easterly the morning and its dew

We have so much to do

Westerly the gold of evenings

When we sit beside each other in the glow

Southerly the gentlest of all

Is where we'll sail when all is through

    You just made me wanna fly a kite .. or just fly maybe .... You can beat an egg and a carpet .. You can even beat around the bush ..

    but ya just can't beat the occasional squall to clear the air n senses ..... Tis a little gem you pinned here Lorna ....

    Can you fly a kite in the rain? Never tried.....You go out there an see. I think you just gave me an idea!

      A squall brings excitement when we are in love with the feel of sailing in winds - a gorgeous weekend piece of writing dear Lorna.

        Although not much of a sailor I was actually on a sailboat (my sister's wedding) during a squall and it was a fun ride! But I'll add we were very close to shore and I could have swum for it which is the only condition under which I will get on a boat in the first place......... thank you Fay!

          I almost used the Kathleen Ferrier version (lovely and my parents played it often) but she sounded gloomier and I\'m trying to be more upbeat...... Glenit loses his doom button.......
