The wind feels like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It pushes and pulls,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but softly\u2014a caress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll give it my stress,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my worries,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my sadness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my loneliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the wind pull it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
gently,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
from my open hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chose this solitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
because even with a partner,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More alone than I feel now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it wasn\u2019t my choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, it is me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the wind,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and an open palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wind can take away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the heavy things today,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so the next thing can land<\/p>\n\n\n\n
right in my open hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
