#6 Zephyr, Like a Willow

That West Wind Knows

Today is a day that I can stand, 
a loan from tomorrow. 
With this in mind, I re-mind: 
my stance will someday falter. 
And so it goes, 
that west wind knows, 
my presencing un-and-alters. 

As I stand, choice demands: 
forming pathways always. 
In that choice, I see a way, 
a gentle rush, reminder: 
Choose the day. 
I choose today.

— Isaiah Behnke
