Following Wind
The gentle
wind follows
As I make my
way slowly but surely to a far-away land
Somehow, that
far-away place doesn’t seem quite as far today
I feel more
and more like an individual man
Each day
brings more of a sense of responsibility
My emptiness
seems less hallow
As I search
for a new way
For my life
to follow
Memories
seems less inviting
Dreams seem
more possible
Life is more
enticing
As it ticks
uncontrollably away
