Breath of the Wind

An inhale

The breeze this eve blows wispy
through whispering leaves well-fastened
while whisking the dry and fallen
in sporadic crispy fashion

I watch unmoved but wistful
envisioning wild twirling dancers
whirling in silk-woven softness
free from unforced attachment

If I were light and willowy,
I’d welcome the lift of the wind chairs
to whip and raise me child-ward
on billowy memories once shared

But the current is not for wishing
its waves of presence now wafting
as drafts of air rush wisely without
I inhale the breath of the wind
