I'll Give Myself to the Wind

I feel sadness when we are near
I don’t know why the emptiness becomes darkness
I’ll give myself to the wind
and maybe on that morning
I’ll open my eyes and see brightness
for the first time.
It seems so easy to stop breathing
but with a laugh comes a breath and we live on
amongst all that is crashing down
if I hold out my hands will you give me the sunset?
They all stare at me
as the rain from above washes the blood
from the holes in my hands
and the tears from my eyes
mix with the rain and the choir.
