DANCING WIND

Spinning, whirling, hopping, skipping and jumping
I saw a whirlwind
Dancing
Across the fields 
Of my youth
And thought 
Of you
As I watched
Another
Dancing wind
Came across the plain 
They merged
And danced
As one
For a while
And then they
Parted again
As I watched 
They drifted apart
Dancing on 
Their separate ways  
As they faded away
I thought of
Us
And the dances
That we shared
We've been so much
Like the dancing winds
And maybe
As the whirlwinds
Return time and again
To the fields
Year after year
And dance their dance
Together
We shall
Dance together again
