I Gave Myself To the Winds

by Neva Flores
(Georgia, USA)

I gave myself to the winds, but still I loved you dear
Within the gardens of my waking heart
I care not to watch my days go by
Without you here in my life
As a part

If I had but the loss of these winds under my wings
I would still see the wildest blue oceans
Right here within your lovely eyes
Reflected in the clouds
Of devotion

Although I find favor in the winds, I love you my dear
With a love that cannot breathe on its own
I care not to watch my days go by
Without you here in my life
Your love unknown

You hold all the wind beneath my wings, I will ever need
I care not to fly within the wind alone
Although I find favor in the winds
With you here in my life
I am home
