An urgency wakes my sluggish body
tossing head while winds play bass,
then soprano

Days, months,
Years have evacuated;
Finally, I hold no image of him
in my dreams of silo’s sky.

Yet,
a pulse
or a windblown pigment,
perhaps a piece of dust,
Calls to me in night galing wind
an anonymous helplessness.

I pray she has not left,
his mother almost mine;
I wonder what the wind has said,
what realization it leaves behind.

The wind tells many whispers and lies and truths it gathers all words and scatters them

RedStone,

Yes. I believe you have described it perfectly in your response. I appreciate the food for thought.

Wind is mysterious and carries many secrets.
Intriquing poem that conjures up many thoughts and interpretations.

May the winds of good fortune, blow your way!

Great write, C. I guessed right about the meaning of this, and I know that haunting feeling. You write of it very well. Hope it works out.
