Caught By The Wind Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

My head hits the pillow
And my eyes begin to cut
The chains that have
Imprisoned me today
And finally as I fall
The gates of endless possibilities
Swing open and I disappear

I am caught by the wind
Whispering our secrets
We dance from tree to tree
And from limb to limb
Howling with joy

Suddenly the wind and I
Carry a raven on
Its midnight rendezvous
Frozen in mid flight
The raven plummets

The chains of tomorrow
Begin to form
As I crash land
Into my pillow
At the crack of dawn
