right now
this is not a work of art
any more than the clouds that float in the sky
or times that pass on by
this is not a poem
it's merely a gust of air
flowing through my hair
as i sit in my window thinking back
i forget the warmth and golden rays
playing on my face, greeting my hand
i forget the very fabric of which
i am a strand
