Rene' Bennett Poet Rhyme

Gift In the Wind

I think about you often 
and wonder what you see 
thoughts tucked deeply hidden 
remain a mystery

Looking out the window 
gazing at the rain 
searching for a rainbow 
doesn't ease the pain 

Smiles are seldom welcome 
no time for silly play 
why put off tomorrow 
what can be done today

Tell me, have you ever 
really smelled the air 
reached down and picked a flower 
just because it's there

Have you ever chased a thunderstorm 
or made angels in the snow 
quietly sat by a fire 
at peace with flames a glow

Sadness dances in your eyes 
with eternal grace 
worries of tomorrow 
form early lines upon your face 

I do not understand you 
nor do I wish to try 
yet, you only live life once 
and you're letting it pass you by 

I have a special wish for you 
I'll send it blowing in the wind, 
so when you feel a breeze 
it's a gift to you my friend
