Just the Wind

I felt the wind blow today... The stormy gray sky loomed over me, as if ready to catch me up in its darkening clutches. I strained my ears... Surely that was a voice I heard. The wind blew wildly blowing up my hair ,and making it dance in snakelike movements around my head... My thin frail garment wrapped around my body as if trying to cling and hold on for dear life... There it was again... the voice calling to me... whispering at first,then growing with intensity. I looked all around me searching for the voice that called to me with such mourning... Its agonizing words were soft torture to my heart, for suddenly I knew who called for me to hear... It was that of my lost beloved, yearning for me... Speaking of passions of days gone by... Wanting to feel my touch just once more... I stretched my arms open wide feeling the massive power that surged though me... The wind lifted me up in its strong embrace filling my very being with life.. Then just as suddenly as it had lifted me,it had released me... leaving me to ache as my heart shuddered,and my tears fell... It was gone before my first tear hit the dusty ground at my feet. leaving me to wonder if it had really come at all... Shaken I took a deep breath and sighed... It was just the wind...
