The Wind
by Ryan Billington
March, 2010
I wonder, I wonder...
if here or there you be;
but thoughts are what determine place...
While the physical is a mere temporary sea.
If the physical is the water over which we glide,
it carries our boats of life along.
But thoughts--perspective, personality, mind--
is the wind which draws my song.
And though our breath is sustained by wood
Which keeps us from the water,
The boat is not what makes us live—
It is the wind which drives our charter
The wind—which pushes beyond time and space
Which beckons my boat away
To leave the physical here and gone
That we might be this day
