The wind

 From Dark Poetry Uncensored

When it's my time to fade

Let me come back as the wind

I want to howl when it aches inside me

To tear open streets

Bend trees

Shatter glass

I'll be the force of nature

I was always too scared to feel

Too scared to be

But I'll whisper too

Slipping over water

Through open windows

Tracing skin and hair

Soft enough to make you shiver

I want to lift a fallen bird's wings one last time

To carry someone's ashes through the endless sky

And let them scatter wherever they choose

I want to deliver wishes from dandelions

Push ships across seas

And make music in the chimes hanging by your front door

If I have to come back at all

Don't make me human

Don't make my stay stagnant

Just let me be the wind
