The Wind

You said the wind was lush,
even refreshing like the sea;
a fine companion any day.

I said it was a trembling torrent
waiting to bounce it’s victim;
like a rough, raging ocean.

Yet, we sat and enjoyed each
other’s company that summer;
as eddies encircles our water craft.

Months have slipped by, maybe
years, which hold that treasured day.
I long to be at your side, in the wind.

Now, I stand alone as wind whips
my weary body and think of you!
I welcome the memory wind brings.

For Alexis, my wind lover.
