wind

There is a wind blowing
All about the earth
Invisible but potent
A harbinger of birth

It stirs up pain and resentment
And pushes you off your path
It throws grit in your eye
Forces a cry
And stifles your ability to laugh

A part of you wishes it dissipate
But if it found you, you know you are stuck
It only comes to those who are ready
To sweep away the grime and the muck

So the part of you who courted the wind
With prayers and petitions and pain
Knows escaping the change is impossible
And let’s the wind have its reign

Emotions swirl and dive and sing
You are battered from all sides
You dodge slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
And see with the confused dreamer’s eyes

Sweep your house and more demons come?
This resonates for a body holds much
Cellular memories of the collective
Waiting for the wind’s mighty touch

None of this is your fault
But what of it?
It was never about escaping pain
Love for the All
Eradicate the Fall
Experience life.

Wild wind—

save me from being tamed.
