The Last of The Winds
The last of the winds came today.
The final push.
Tomorrow weâll hear what theyâve left us.
Tomorrow has never been closer.
Look to the east and you can almost feel it on your cheek
Look to the west, it holds you,
Like a bed of fallen leaves.
Did you feel the cold?
Itâs always worse than you remember.
I would tell you I made that cold,
But you wouldnât believe me.
Not without all the things I will never tell you.
The last of the winds came today.
The last of the winds has not yet gone.
It lingers.
A sleep thatâs not ready to surrender its hold.
A scent left on your shoulder by a heart close to yours.
The last of the winds takes a little of you with it.
Leaves you empty.
Then allows the possibility of fullness.

Let me show you:
The last of the winds came today.
A final push.
Tomorrow weâll hear what theyâve left us.
It's message never closer.

I would tell you I made it that way

Not without all the things I'll never say.
The last of the winds came today.
They have not yet gone.
It lingers like a sleep
thatâs not ready to surrender.
A scent left on your shoulder
by a heart so close to yours.
The last of the winds
takes a little of you with it.
Leaves you empty
and allows the possibility of fullness.
