Wind
by

Callie Nguyen

A wispy wind, off in the distance, nearer it comes to me
I feel it run it's fingers through my hair.

Goosebumps break out across my skin as I feel it carress
my body. I shiver with delight.

How I would love to run with you, seeing the wonders and
breathless sites you see.

How'd I love to be with you always... but a dream it is.
You are too fast, too far.

I can't keep up with your pace. Sadness fills the empty
void inside of me

I wish always to be by your side, but a hopeless
desire.. an inevitable want

I can't be with you, because you are the wind, and the
wind is nothing but a mere shape.. a feel.. a hope..
