The Wind

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

The wind

I am standing by your side. But you do not see me? I don't know the reason why. I am the wind that blows through your hair. Yet I whisper, and you don't hear. I am the robin sitting in the tree. Just look up, and you will see me. I touch my finger on your sweet lips. But I don't feel it. So I sit and look into your pretty blue eyes and think, Am I alive? Please let me kiss you on the cheek just one more time. Then tell me you feel it. So I won't run and hide. I guess I have to wait for you to arrive. I'm not sure I can, and I don't know the reason why.
