Today the wind stirred
Passing through opened windows
Setting the sheers all a flutter
Carrying the breath of spring
To brush across my cheek
With whisper soft kisses
Scented in lilac

And it spoke my name
With subtle temptation
To close my eyes and let go
Caught up in its waiting arms
To carry me forth
To trace the lands
In reckless abandonment
Going hither and yon
Whatever the inclination
Severing the ties
That bind me to duty

And for that moment
I remember my youth
And what it was
To see the world
Responsible to none
Save myself
To taste the salted air of the Caribbean
Or ride the train along the Rhine
To walk the slopes of the Alps
Or smell the rich bouquet of French wine

Ah, there are times
When the wind blows just right
And I am touched
By whispering remembrances
Of that time since passed
When I was young
And the world was mine.

S.A.T.
