You are like the wind.

You are like the wind...
Everything around you
is affected by you:
your energy...
They bend,
they sway and shudder,
twirl and tumble
as you pass,
in work, in play,
face to face
or in the race.

Like the wind
you will not be caught.
You come and go...
suddenly,
quietly, loudly,
gently and fearsomely.
And for those who dote on
your dances with Autumn leaves,
and your whispers in their ears,
you will toss the ocean spray
into their eyes
and throw their dresses
over their heads.
Then dissolve gracefully into the air,
leaving us
with nothing but the echo
of your sunshine.
