How the Winds Abide

How far away the winds have blown
                     So many of the loves I’ve known
So many of the seasoned hearts
        That cradled me through stops and starts 

So far away the scattered leaves
            In thoughts upon a breast that heaves 
For love as I now reminisce 
                          So needed at a time like this  

When feeling loosened and untied
                   As flowers, one by one, have died
And gardens filled of what I know
                             Feel likely not to ever grow

Yet winds may blow to spread the seed
                              Again to flourish all I need
Once love begins, it will remain
                              Another life then to regain

And with me, I am not alone
              For love, that has to me, been shown
Will always be here by my side
                       No matter how the winds abide
