What wind is it lilting my thoughts so amazingly?

What wind is it lilting my thoughts so amazingly?
Its caress swings, swings my mind unaccountably.
In my heart's horizon moist dense new clouds swarm,
 Stirring a shower of emotions. 
I don't see her—don't see her at all
Only occasionally in my mind I recall
Almost indiscernible footsteps sounding
And ankle bells tinkling, oh so tunefully!
A secret dreamscape spreads
Across the wet wind-swept sky—
A new and ethereal azure shawl!
Shadowy unfurled tresses fly,
Filling me with such intense disquiet
On this far-off ketoki- perfumed wet night.
