To: Knitting A Conundrum

This one won an award and is nominated for another: It’s about two characters in the InuYasha manga, one who died, the other who lived; they were just maybe beginning to have a relationship. The one who died called herself a wind sorceress, and wanted to be as free as the wind. Right before she was killed, she was released from bondage, then attacked. She flew off to die where the man she was interested in could be with her. I think it stands alone enough to post here without any more explanation:

Sometimes the Wind

Sometimes,
when he is alone in his thoughts,
this inscrutable Lord of the Western Lands,
standing there in the open ground underneath a warming sun,
and the air is still and quiet,
the wind comes up, unexpectedly,
and nuzzles against his neck,
kissing his ears,
playing with his silver hair,
caressing his cheek
and he remembers her fiery eyes,
and voice,
and unspoken longings,
the whiteness of her bosom,
his final witness.

Something in him stirs, then,at those moments,
and he pauses,
thinking briefly at the might have beens
that were not,
that could not be,
that did not happen,
and knows the touch of regret,
and like the wind,
sometimes, he sighs.

Sometimes the Wind

Knitting, Oh my goodness, this is breath taking exquisite.

It will go on your page, if that is okay with you.
