10-Wind

Wind

Wind inspires my breath,

a soft breeze followed

by a long exhale,

out here on a hilltop

where wind can reach

into my lungs,

inflate them to fresh

beginnings.  I spread

my arms to embrace

what I cannot hold,

close my eyes to the truth

of the sun and hope

one day to sprout wings

to fly above what

I cannot change.
