Lilly

 Mindful of the Wind

It was a grown-up breeze,

Chasing clouds to kingdom come,

A torrent of shwooshing leaves and dirt,

Bending the unresolved,

Pushing—

Persuading trunks and posts

Of a resisted opinion—Be free of binding roots!

It was a grown-up gust,

Inverting umbrellas,

Giving a different view of the world,

Invisible, strong,

Like the punch of a fresh thought.
