Stepping back as the door swings wide
I say “Please come in,  stay a while”

and Wind waltzes by.

We embrace
old friends who have traveled this earth

forever.

Wind is electrifying
mystifying
captivating

regaling me with his adventures

knowing I’m always eager for more.

My friend Wind is always welcome.

Evening comes to an end.

It is past midnight
doors have closed
my guest has left
but I’m never alone.
Time always lives under my roof

and is calling out for me

to join him for a spell.
