"You cannot save people. You can only love them." -John Green


There is something in the wind
In the way it makes everything fluid
In the way it makes us feel
In the way it makes us smile
In the way it bends the branches
And separates the leaves
So they will find the courage
To venture towards a new home
So they will dance across the path I walk
And make me sad
And make me cry
Then make me happy
Until the last tear dries
The only motion that can encompass my mind
And heart
Wind
Where I know love will always start


The author's comments:
I wrote this poem when I was feeling great loneliness. However, I remembered how I feel walking outside when the pre-rain winds are blowing. Wind always makes me feel happy, at least temporarily.
