Topic: Swirling Winds

This is actually a song I wrote but works just as well as a poem. That is how it was originally written anyway. Hope you enjoy. As always your comments are welcomed.


SWIRLING WINDS


Swirling Winds Swirling winds
Tiny Funnels of power begin
The rains will come the winds will blow
Spinning colors of silver and gold

Tip toe starlight gently inhale life
Her lungs fill up like balloons and kites
Sad clown visits and makes her cry
Out slips the balloon and is lost in the sky
Something left her she stares at the balloon
Now now it's free, free from it's tomb
Her hair whips in the winds of change
She feels deaths clutches let loose from her veins

Swirling Winds Swirling winds
Tiny Funnels of power begin
The rains will come the winds will blow
Spinning colors of silver and gold

She spins and spins with freedom and joy
Spinning pictures of colors lke ponds filled with koi
She sparks others who stare hypnotized
By the pastels and hues glittering in the skies

Swirling Winds Swirling winds
Tiny Funnels of power begin
The rains will come the winds will blow
Spinning colors of silver and gold

Hi Stretch,

I'm getting glimpses of meaning through this straight off. I think it'll take some pondering  before I get the whole message, though.

That line is so full of magic imagery. I have watched Koi so could see the image vividly.

Its a great piece of work. Id love to hear the melody for it also.

So well written.

Thank you.

Re: Swirling Winds

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the replies. I love imagery so it is usually my goal to try to create a picture in someones head. I am thrilled that you guys enjoyed it.
I have supplied a link to a you tube of the song. I sang it at a local Starbucks here in South Florida. The audio is not good and I make a bunch of mistakes but I hope, if you watch, you can get a feel of the song.
