October Wind

O mighty October wind

What are you laying down

With your gentle strokes of fragrance

What answers reside in you

Those I cannot seem to understand 

As I lay these paper crumbs

Galloping in the air, riding your strength

A deep sense of wonder takes birth

I realize, the answers will be mine

The need to run is diminished

They were born in me, are a part of me

My anxious molecules. Her face,

Ever glowing is even brighter

This moment is in my hands

I clench it tighter and then I let it go

As you whisper softly, O October wind.
