The Call of the Wind
By Gina Hatchell

Do you remember
when you first
felt the wind?
Did it promise to show you
secret, faraway places
and introduce you
to exotic, new faces?
Did it whisper softly
or sweep you off your feet?
Did it beacon you to follow
like a long lost friend?

You travel through this world
barely touching, then letting go.
Leaving footprints in the air
that echo through hearts
when you aren't there.
Do you ever look back
and see where you've been?
Are you really happy....floating
like a feather in the wind?

I can only hope a gentle breeze
won't ever be a storm in disguise,
and that rain won't ever bring you
falling down upon your knees.
I wish for you to have blue skies
with a rainbow at the end.
I'll always love my restless feather
though he answers the call of the wind.
