Le vent
I want to run with the wind.
The breeze is my sister,
the gust is my mother;
the gale is my father.
I want the Sun on my back
and my sister beside me
as I find horizon’s end
and all places in between.
I want to go where I am taken;
pulled along on a family trip
to see mountains and seas,
villages and cities.
I want to carry airplanes
so that I may travel with them,
and maybe lift a rocket
so that I can see the atmosphere.
I want my experiences
to surround me
so that you may know where I’ve been
by my smell.
I want to run with the wind,
but do not fear
I will be prepared
for any turbulence.
