When The Wind Blows Poem by Chow Yip

When The Wind Blows

Rating: 5.0


I look back
Ahhhhhh!
You’re it!
I felt so free
I was playing tag
I adored how the wind blew at my face when I ran
It gave me the feeling that life was easy and good
I liked how I laughed with my friends
I was completely carefree
I had nothing to worry about
I only had things to look forward to
As I went through the process of growing up
I felt as though the weight of gravity has increased
Why don’t I have time to play tag?
When I feel the wind blowing at my face
Why don’t I get the same sensation as I did before?
Could it be
I am occupied with ship loads of work
No time for the game of tag
I am busy reviewing school work
I have after school activities
When I am about to wallow in self pity and lament incessantly
It dawn on me that I should be grateful for the opportunity to be learn and develop
When so many in the third world countries do not have the same access to education
Once again when the wind sweeps across my face
The same carefree sensation seems to have reemerged
The weight of gravity seemed to have diminished
I have rediscovered the same carefree spirit that I have long forgotten
