Windblown Thoughts
I am naught but a windblown thought
And nobody can see the wind
Only the mark it leaves on the world
And nobody puts the wind in their active thoughts
Until it’s a whipping, blowing storm
My name is forgotten at the nightfall
Only to be remembered at the morn when I’m seen again
They speak of my name only to curse it
To damn me for felling trees and taking lives
I am loved when I am calm and gentile
But when I am a raging storm
A ravenous catastrophe of thunder and nerium
They run, and they hide, and they pray
Until I am the summer’s breeze once again
I return to my place as a passive notation
An invisible windblown thought
Until the storm starts once again
