A Note On the Wind I Followed
One day, having no cares, as I walked along
my mind was like a slate needing written upon,
for no words had I – not even a song.
Any thoughts coming to me were just as soon gone.
Soon enough there came as if out of nowhere
a sound! A note on the wind I followed.
One note – long and lovely – piercing the air.
It led to the woods, in whose sounds it got swallowed.
The note I had followed for a short time
became the woods’ murmurs so calming to me.
I stopped and sat down and thought up a rhyme.
The wind led me where to write poetry!
