Where the Wind May Take Me

While walking toward the bus stop today A whirlwind tried to whisk me away Where it would take me, it did not say But I refused to budge And then among the dust and debris A willowy voice whispered to me Why be afraid when you can be free? Yet onward I did trudge How can I be free when I am afraid When safe and sure is where I’ve always stayed When my heart is willing but my feet can’t be swayed The brave ones I begrudge Though I’d rather ride the wind than the bus I can’t simply hop on a random gust But a breath of smog or a breath of dust Is an easy choice to judge Give me a ticket to board the west wind And I’ll ride it forever wherever it’s destined So say your farewells, wish me the best and I’ll just need a little nudge.
