Thousand Island Park, NY 2016

You love the wind.  It fills you up.
It whips the leaves on the trees, and
your shirt, your hair, your eyes, your heart.
It takes all your breath away.

You love the sun embracing you.
It brightens the world, steals the night,
swims around your body lighter
than human touch.  It warms your heart.

Sunlight and wind conspire to chip
the river waves into diamonds --
diamonds that whip their way into
your eyes as unshed sparkling tears.

The sunlight, the strong wind and waves
fuse to gently rock this cradle
suspending your course of action
and desire for destination.
