Wind Baby

 

alone we are nothing
together whole
dancing in the clouds
flying in the sweet autumn wind
babies of the harvest
dark hair
dark eyes
skin like chocolate kisses and brown sugar
soul to soul
heart to heart
the one you never knew before
facades are deep
and the shell can only be broken
by the one who cares
secrets come out
but how they affect all
is a mystery
none see the future
few see the truth of today
hold out your hands
and catch me
else I shall slip through
like water in a sieve
sand through fingers
catching the wind
and hitting the earth
where my being shatters
what you see now
changes in an instant
fluctuating like dipping scales
child of air
daughter of breeze
inhale too fast and I have left you
gone
what is today's shy child
is tomorrow's Aphrodite
may be a space case
but sometimes those are the best kind
to be with
