wind in my soul

paper airplanes 
of thought 
carried away from me
by the breeze of new things
and old things
now remebered
wind in my soul 
as i laugh through the pain 
of growing up 
storms on my tongue
harsh words from a moment of hurt
and the scent of rain in the distance
birds made of hope and blue-grey feathers
flutter around my head 
leaving songs in their wake 
that sound like thunder
and my mother's laughter 
wind in my soul
as i dance to my heartbeat
the song of life
thump-thumping it's rythim in my chest.
