Perspective

Oh, to be the wind
To be free
To fly
To flow
Freely
--Like the wind

Not to be like the wind
Nor of the wind
But to
be the wind

And, the wind turned
And asked,
Why would you want
To be me?

I am bound
To the earth
I am locked in
For all my strength
I cannot break free

(reflective pause)

And, if the wind could get it's wish
It, then, no longer would exist.
