Listen to the breeze
the breeze says out, lets go out
drawing us to
takeaway coffees
the weekend paper
she wants to be close, the closeness draws you in
they want to go fast, scooters can go fast
beauty collected in colours by small hands
snatched conversations
dreams and thoughts
dappled sunlight surrendering to dusk
the breeze says home, lets go home.
“We spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking. We move along the surface of things…but there are times when we stop. We sit still. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory. We listen, and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.”
James Carroll
