How often I wish I were the wind

blown off to a place far, far away

Landing unweathered, alas thickened skinned

🌓

often, I reflect on when I've sinned

eye storm's eyesore, my spirit is grey

How often I wish I were the wind

🌓

chin-up's soul mate, my hopeful chinned

local wind's laughter, limbs gently sway

Landing unweathered, alas thickened skinned

🌓

mistral's misery; have I been pinned

gust meets obstacle, to my dismay

How often I wish I were the wind

🌓

cat's paw, soothing; grimaced to grinned

shoreline's special; a catch of the day

Landing unweathered, alas thickened skinned

🌓

respite, fresh air when pressure has thinned

a breeze that frees on a summer's day

How often I wish I were the wind

Landing unweathered, alas thickened skinned
