Nurturing the Unspeakable

Feel the wind
Blowing void
An empty touch
Caressing skin

I spread my arms
And fold my soul
While hugging streams
Of oxygen

As lightness floats
These waves of sighs
Are bound to fuel
A finer high

That smiles in warmth
And teaches growth
By twitching flesh
And clenching throats

When showing us
That a fine tool for strive
Involves us feeling
Dissatisfied

Hi Gilson! Beautiful poem, beautiful words, and I love the image it evokes with arms spread and "hugging streams of oxygen" -- wonderful feeling! And I also love the line "these waves of sighs are bound to fuel a finer high" -- yes!! Great job, Gilson!
