Fanfare
The Wind, all beautiful and
senseless noise
beat on my back
and tickled my clothes
I asked for a pardon,
turned my head and said
“Another Day”
But “No,”
The wind whispered
“Now, don’t wait”
“See,” he said
“I always pass you by,
Roll on your spine and push on your shoulders”
“Don’t let me do it,
be bolder, be stronger”
“Let your feet turn light
weightless; lofty”
“I dare you”
“I dare you to face me”
My eyes closed, head bowed
I simply couldn’t turn Him down
I almost gave him the chance
To beat me down
on the ground that I’ve oft stumbled upon.
Fell and been mocked;
hurt and left broken
“No more,” I said.
Eyes opened, water thick
I felt myself fly
And then I,
I turned and I faced the Wind.
