Hello again! Here's another I wrote a little while ago! Hope you guys like it!
they brought us the wind

the sounds of footsteps overwhelm the fire
the clouds of smoke, the fear of irrelevance
daring to leave behind what generations could not

sharing an elusive dream of changing can’ts to wills
maybes to certainty, as rocks change from anger
to doves to rocks again

bring me the wind, the strength of a thousand songs
a thousand tears, a thousand declarations
let it guide me down the path of a thousand wounds
ending in relief of making it there alive

we taught ourselves what the beast would not
that we live, we cry, we breathe, we walk
to the beat of infinite drums.


Thanks!

"let it guide me down the path of a thousand wounds"  ...there is a depth here and in other places that may take a few more reads to appreciate, but I for one am willing to go down that path nice write

This is well-crafted, with many good, strong, and even sharp images coming to mind upon reading. The words flow well together, with resonance and wit.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, yet remember the still, small voice...
