Love In the Wind

As I travelled down I395 I saw cars lined up with harzard lights flashing. I knew it was a procession of some sort As I went past all the cars in tow I saw most men in black suits Then I got to the first car – it was a hearse I said a silent prayer to the departed And asked God to Rest the soul in perfect peace Soon after I remembered you Maame As I drove along Little River Turnpike There was a great void within my soul today My spirit was restless and asked for you I looked up in the skys for a sign But found nothing to remind me of you or where you were I called out to you asking to see you again I recalled the times you held my hands in comfort The days you called me from sleep to warn me of a pending danger to Sesi Your brillance shown in the hues of the sun on your picture in my room So I asked to see you again and you came to me You let me turn to look to my left and there you were I saw you in a tree Two trees standing side by side The autumn leaves yellow in its beauty There was a shimmer to the left tree And that drew my attention As I waited in traffic for the light to turn I studied those trees You came to me in the wind blowing in the wind were the leave of the left tree While the right one stood still with no hint of a stir It was just that one tree that came alive in that stillness Slowly, the leaves blew off in very slow motion I looked to the right and still no stirring I felt you there, I knew you were there I waved and smiled and more leaves blew off As if to smile back In beautiful succession of a candid dance You motioned I am here with you This beautiful hue of leaves blew lovingly to a non-existent wind For the other tree still had no movement It was a shedding off with a blend of light with yellow leaves in motion to a wind. The disperse of those leaves whispered “I am with you” I felt those words in my soul As much as my spirit calmed down I broke down then and told you I know I am at peace knowing you are in the wind Free to roam without a walking cane Free to sing a tenor in praise to the maker I know you are with me in the rain When I look at those drops and think of my void washing away I know you are with us when Sesi looks up and stares away from me at nothing For this angel has seen many angels around her That my eyes get blind to Thank you mom for being the best mother to us all.
