Like the Wind
By Dasha Kelly Hamilton
Feel the wind chase and play In ways our eyes could never see Lifting motes and weightless matter Dancing specks of wayward dreams Breathe them in Belt it out Shake loose the quarter notes Your starter dough, the shards of broken hearts to be reimagined with melted gold We breeze and we storm Strum electricity in the air Scribble into the cosmos and seas “Maybe” rustles comfort and through the leaves “If” can uproot old and mighty trees Ideas travel through us like the wind Forces of our nature Designers and makers We are undoers We are creators
Casting roles, molds and long shadows We stack We dance We shatter, remix and line break We bake, we glaze Spin, shift and shape We wander, wondering Settling to rest on something fresh, Somewhere new Some solution, shortcut or fusion Some evolution of you Breathe in Sound it out String the melody of your story along the eaves Twinkle a mural across your starlit skies Each of our lives Already a constellation We are lifted particles of stardust Bending breezes into dreams
