The Way of the Wind

Now and then sometimes and then in-between 
                         The way of the wind is a way so serene
To find oneself carried completely on air
                          Just drifting in silence with nary a care

The way of the wind cannot simply be caught
                                  It isn’t a venture so easily taught
A mindset of karma for fortunes outlaid
                  Will hopefully spend now with gratitude paid

So free and so easy, a sea-breeze delight
                When floating in freedom all day and all night 
But when one can find it, when head space permits
                      Then everything questioned all finally fits

A tempest, a zephyr, a current or whisk
                      Just let yourself fly, go ahead, take a risk
The worries that burden in life underpinned
                      Will suddenly vanish, the way of the wind

Good morning, Mike. My attempts at flying have not been successful lately. I'll need more practice in order to find this kind of serenity. For the time being, I'll find it in the soothing lines of your poetry. Very nicely written.
