Winds She Said

A poem.

March 29, 2012



Winds She Said

Skip to next paragraph

Each wind only comes once
 No matter how long you wait
 It won't come again
 To brush your hair back
 Whisper secrets in the leaves
 You can't quite understand
  It won't come again
 To ripple puddles after the rain
 Push your curtains in to
 the room
 Whirl dust along the wall
 Pictures you can't quite see
 Each wind only comes once
  Clayton Medeiros
