Letters from the wind

I wanted to send a letter into space
To let you know I am giving up
But instead
You must have heard the birds singing
And the wind through your hair must have whispered
She can’t hold on no longer
But you were long gone even before weren’t you love
You must have asked the wind who are you talking of
Who is this girl who will no longer fight
The wind will blow and the birds will sing
And somewhere in the arctics the emperor penguins are bowing to each other
And she
Far away is working very hard on giving up on love
What comes to you with so much ease
Such a torment for her
Who is this girl,
She sounds so lovely,
you ask the wind again
Oh love how you forgot it all
The wind long gone back to the desert
Back to its own strives for joy
Says nothing
I send another breeze to soothe you
Just breathe my love
Let go of me I say
And for a second the dust intricately recontructs my face
But it’s so late
It’s way too late
We both forgot.
