The Wind Carried The Rest Away

It was the day we laughed so hard 
we made the lillies bloom 

I was twenty something 
it was cool and crisp 

we were running like gazelles 
a game of hide and go seek 
happiness all balled up in our hearts 
shooting out of us in shrieks and bellows 

I'm a lioness 
she declared 

and I decided I was too 

a she-roic lioness 
with nothing to do 
but chase the wind 

they say it whips you in the face 
but this isn’t how it works 
if you run hard enough 
the wind bores right into you 

I don’t remember anything else 
except the smell of the sea, sand & salt h20 
sweet as chocolate 

the wind carried the rest away.
