Being Wind

Whenever the wind comes along,
the curls of dust
rise up and cheer like fans
on a big play

You can feel the truth in it
but truth like wind
is an occasional thing
that we only notice
when it kicks sand in our faces

If we knew wind
knew truth
it's a predetermined thing,
high to low
with a coreolis curve
and all the momentum of air

We make our own wind by moving
choosing where why
taking the curves and
changing our direction
regardless of the world's push
of low, of high or spin

and in the mirror
we watch dust
stand up behind as
we become the wind

You've created a magnificent tapestry of wisdom woven with beauty... finished with finest craftsmanship in those final lines. Excellent work, my friend... I like this breeze.
