Run With The Wind

Yearning

Oh, to run
With the wind
Jostle her
Tease her
Race her
And win! 

It thrills me to watch
Upright beings
So small against her power
Taunt her
With their cycle rides

Flying downhill
Cutting air like laser light
Leaving that haughty wind
Breathless
Then racing with her
Speeding faster than she
Beating her at her game!

Yes, it thrills me to watch
But oh, what bark I would give
What limb I’d gladly lose
To just once
Be free from ground
So deeply rooted
Race the wind
And win!

– Shelley Lowell
