See a breeze caressing my trees

I feel a profound desire.

For someone to caress me.

I wish I was like a bird

If only I could, step outside of me.

I look outside of my window

When dusk slowly turns into dark

I hear a cacophony of birds

Getting ready to roost for the night.

I close the curtains on my window

My room a dark canopy

I sink my head on my pillow

Dreaming eyes lost in fantasy

I send my soul on a journey

To find a soulmate for me.
