Hello Wind


Hello, can you hear me?

I hear you, in all your glory

You whisper in my ears

Constantly

But I don't mind, because it's nice 

 

You keep me cool sometimes

You remind me what it's like to breathe

I feel you around even now

At least I know I'm not alone

No, I'm never alone

 

They say you're a good influence

The only problem is

They can't see you

Well no one can

Not even me

 

But why do I need to?

You're around all the time.

Whistling all these beautiful songs in my ears

It makes me feel like things will look up

That not everything is hopeless

 

Maybe that’s why I always feel better

You signify the days to come

You taught me that nothing is perfect

That everything comes with a price

But I just don’t understand


 

Sometimes, when I don’t need you, you’re there.

And when I do need you, you’re not.

And sometimes we bump into each other by mistake

And although I can’t see you, 

I know you’re there.

 

It’s like I’m blind

But I can see

Just not you, obviously

But I can feel you

I can feel what you feel

 

I feel the guilt of yesterday

I feel the confusion today brings

I feel the excitement of tomorrow

I feel the shudders you release

As if you can’t contain it yourself


 

I want to see you

I want to talk to you

I want to feel you

I want to love you

I want to know who you are

 

But of course I can’t

I almost forgot who I was talking to

Or should I say what

Because all you are is wind to me

Just wind


 

The kind that leaves

The kind that never looks back

All you are is wind

All you’ll ever be is wind

So thank you for making me look so cool.

 

I thought we had something

But I guess I was wrong

You tell me of how our friendship is beyond compare

Yet, you can’t show yourself.

What’s there to hide?

 

But of course I’m overreacting

Because now I’m the crazy one.

I’m the storm now

And you’re nothing but a light breeze 

Blowing a downy feather into the world

This poem is exquisite! The writing flows with clarity, carefully chosen language, and strong narrative. The imagery is strong, your use of metaphor and meaning is just right. Check out my " No Borders" and, "Whirling Whorl." if you get a chance I'd like feedback.
