  • On the Wind

    i went for a walk today
    and caught the scent of you
    on the wind
    earthen, sweet, and dry,
    horses and hay
    undeniably you
    
    in an instant
    a beautiful breeze 
    of early memories 
    blew in
    and danced around 
    inside my mind
    tangling up with my heart
    
    you’ve been gone for years
    but there you were
    with me again
    
    in an instant
    I was that little girl
    on the farm
    chasing chickens
    climbing hay bales
    and riding horses
    
    together, 
    we were racing sticks on the river
    eating fresh peas from the garden
    roasting “weenies” over the fire
    and watching the sunset
    glow orange and lavender
    above the western mountains
    
    i miss you, grandpa
    thank you for the memories
    and thank you
    for visiting me today
    on the wind
