The Crest of the Wind
It's that cool breeze thing,
it's making me dizzy
and plaguing my mind with thoughts
of what used to be.
As the crest of the wind
brushes past my shoulder,
slightly messing up my hair,
I believe in the origin that brought it to me.
And, following the thought,
I go back
to my youth
where I played,
where I pondered the thoughts
that any eight-year-old boy
would have thought.
And I think forward from that point,
but still backward where I stand,
and I see myself with my friends,
with loved ones and lost ones,
and I escape the memories that are painful
and hold on to the pleasant ones.
