The Wind

Are you also the wind?

Passing through places

Swirling around people

Always going

Moving

Never staying

For the wind doesn’t exist unless it’s moving

Invisible

Except when it carries cast aside pieces of paper

Or abandoned plastic bags

Fallen leaves

Lost things

Dead things

Forgotten things

The wind is cold

It isn’t the wind if it’s warm

People welcome the breeze

They pull their jackets tighter

To shield against the wind

But if you are also the wind,

We could make the leaves rustle

And dance

We could make the waves swell

And crest

We could make the grasses bend

And sway

We could make beauty

From the stillness

Come blow with me.
