mellifluous winds
tell me of the things that are
passed, not forgotten

wild is winter born
rounding regretful shoulders
to obscure paths home

a tree cannot push
against the wind, it must bend
and sway to it’s will

they herald the wind
feathering distant portents
to soften the blow

unstitch old cloth with
love, lay it down for others
save the thread for you

if who we are is
seen as less than a river
we will all run dry

a fallow field lies
dormant waiting for the plough
to peel back its truth

tenuous threads bind
to the dancing wind reaper
his whims will cut loose

it’s the not knowing
yet they grew stronger than our
crystal ball of fears
