Wind

Wind.

‘Twas forecasted, predicted.

Blowing here, raining there

Wetting foreign soil,

But drying, drying

This desert land.

~

Wind.

Parching.

Lifting leaves to dance, to fly

Free from bounds

Of tired plants,

No sustenance left to offer.

~

Wind.

Trees shed what’s left,

Dropping, dropping,

Nourishment for other plants

In seasons yet to come.

~

Wind.

Beckoning the future,

“Come.”

“Be.”

Encouraging the present

To move into the past.

~

Open arms wide. Eyes forward. Ride the wind.
