First Spoke
I don't know when the wind
first spoke to me...
perhaps when I was three
and I sat mesmerized by
kitchen curtains dancing on the breeze
or maybe when I was nine
and I felt the power of the wind
as my hand rose and fell
outside the car window,
like a jet in turbulent flight
or maybe when I was 15
and I went sailing with my cousin
gliding across the ocean waves
drenched in sun and wind
at Marina del Ray
I don't know when the wind
first spoke to me...
but my peace, my joy, my grace
comes from the wind
and fills me with calm serenity
