Past Winds

If only I were the wind
I'd fly to memories thin
back beyond time 
a place all mine

I'd slither between fields
twirl in valley shields
hide among the pines
rustle hillside grape vines

Finding a forest a river within
stay for a moment before I rescind
Lift eagle feather wings to soar
Wait for rain howl with storm

Whip dust from places I played as child
lay loosely there where I grew so wild
return to those places dark
I would rest as wooden bark

A breathe holding, muse stilling write! I was captured in friendly flight by lines that sailed high thru stanza delight. Truly, my pleasure to read. All the best ... CayCay
