The wind was always a rival to defeat,
so I ran the path set forth,
training for the marathon of life
to cross the finish line
on some distant horizon,
and I imagined turning back
to see a tired wind
come in second.

But in trying so hard to finish first,
I never could pause long enough,
to appreciate the simple things
that had no need to run in any race.

One day
a gust of wind
gently passing by
whispered softly in my ear:
“Learn to run with me, not against me.
Don’t worry about who finishes first!
If you must run along my paths,
let me be your companion, not
your competitor!
Allow the pleasure to flow within
life’s own gentle pace.

WW Eleven, here again I find myself saving another of your electrifying, spirit poems. I literally get goosebumples when I read your poetry. It truly speaks to me on a soul level.
I do believe that Spirit speaks through you.

"I never could pause long enough,
to appreciate the simple things"

~ Yes, we should stop and smell the lemongrass, so to speak.

"“Learn to run with me, not against me.
Don’t worry about who finishes first!
If you must run along my paths,
let me be your companion, not
your competitor!
Allow the pleasure to flow within
life’s own gentle pace."

~ The Wind whispered wise words into your ears, dear One Who Walks With the Wind.

Love & Wind,
EA
