A wind in the woods passes brief,
like an unpredictable invisible thief,
tangible... so very sweet.
A wing, black perhaps dark-blue stirs the air,
the hood over my hair,
falls off... slithers free.
Soft, slow, fresh, low - the four breezes swing,
swirl and sing,
in this butterfly balance… I dance.
I loose thoughts with each step, things,
