Timeless

Listen to the wind

when it chases through cities and open land

with unheard messages

wander unhindered, let your hair flutter

like the migrating swallows

think:

timeless

gently

southeast

precipitation

watch the mist rise in the forest

learn about the falling leaves

like someone holding a shell to their ear

to hear the ocean

recall a lost girl

with a red hood looking for ways out

say:

short lived

violent

sudden

gusts of wind

wait as the time goes by

when everything fades

snowflakes are falling

the silences

isolated birdcalls 

hoar frost

remember:

endless

frozen

icy

change

recognize everything that leans

follow the beats of your heart's wings

and sing the song of taking a breath

again and again
