Blow
Comes and goes
just like the wind blows
the air
I breathe
I am ...
Sometimes hot and heavy – not moving
Sometimes cold and wet-too cold to feel
It's swirling like a wind whirl
So confused doesn't know to decide which way to go
I am a grain of sand
caught up inside
blowing from here to there
slowly gently wildly from corner to corner
up and down far and here
I am a cloud
always on the go
move on, with sun
world still turns , turns on its own
the day turns to dusk
shadows appear
I blow
come , and then go..
