Winds of Change

a gust of wind, blowing
thoughts of yesterday into
my already crowded mind-
replacing today's list of
"go here" and "do this"
with "remember when"
we had nowhere to go
and nothing to do
but feel on our faces
a gust of wind, blowing.

  4. We always long for a time when we had no responsibilities. You've captured that feeling very well.

  6. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

    Excellent poem and a very important message!

    I have always enjoyed poems mentioning the wind.
    My favorite quote from a poet from Wales:

    I turned my head and saw the wind,
    Not far from where I stood,
    Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
    Into a dark and lonely wood.

    The Villain
    William Henry Davies

    Reflections of the long ago Maryland dairy fill my thoughts every time I read, 'The Villain"
