Once Tame

 -Setting the night afire

within a warm blaze of beauty.

Outward, a bold shine of innocence.

She scents the wind with desire.

-Childlike, penetant, just,

All must earn her love.

Tried with fire and brimstone,

All pass through Hell to earn her trust.

-Once shattered was her heart.

Once a tamed soul.

Broken was a wild spirit.

But tamed now only in part.

-Now searching, looking, praying,

Though she really looks for noone.

She rides the clouds to tame the wild wind

That sets the pillars of her life to swaying.

-Then the wind whispers her name,

Softly, though with power.

It kisses her neck softly,

fingers entwined in her hair.

And the warm wind whispers her name.
