Away

I know a place
where the water speaks
in a seductive voice
calling me
away
as it slips over stones
polished smooth by its laughter,
flowing onward,
filling my soul
with the sound of the earth and of
life.

I know a place
where the wind sighs
with a mysterious breath
calling me
away
as it whispers through leaves
blushed red by its secrets,
blowing onward,
filling my soul
with the sound of the earth and of
life.

And in this place I am
one 
with the earth 
and
for just a moment
free,
then wishing 
for nothing more
than to follow the water 
and the wind
away.
