Humming a soft tune, came down the wind. With airy fingers, it tousled my hair. Rubbing its cold cheeks on mine, It tickled me and reeled round Tugging at my skirt like a naughty kid, And amorously lifting it up like a lover Like soft tendrils, it coiled all around me Inviting me for a waltz Between hushed breaths and murmured tones It talked to me endless, whispering Sweet nothings in my attentive ear I felt love pouring down on me I wished to cage it to enjoy its sweet company But like an apparition, it disappeared into thin air! I couldn’t follow its trail but as it passed, I saw a tumbleweed trembling and falling When I stood wondering where it had disappeared I saw a note flying to me that read; “I am friend and foe alike, you shall not know, From where I come and to where I go” October. 25.2022 Re submitted for 2022 Marathon Mile.19.

Dust devils are common in Arizona, where tumbleweeds leave a trail of thorns, so you are fortunate to live where the wind caresses! Aloha!
