Dance Upon the Wind by Intimate Knight

I wasn't looking for it, but some how it came, and found me.
Before I had a chance to react, it wrapped it's warmth around me.
Like a thief in the night, it has come and gone.
I have nothing, but that vision to reflect upon.

Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind.
All day long, in my mind, I walk love's lonely street.
Like a tired man that longs to sit, but just can't find a seat.
Then, there it was again, up ahead, to light my way.

Only to vanish once more, just like all my yesterdays.
Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind.
I don't know where I'm going, and where I've been isn't much to speak of.
I just know my heart is always showing, leading me to some far off love.

Just when I give up the fight.
Here it comes to make the bad things good, and the wrong things right.
Only to leave me lost and lonely again.
Drifting away as my thoughts dance upon the wind.

It has a name, I think they call it friend.






This poem is about friendship so I thought it ought to be dedicated to a very special friend.  Kaitlyn :)  I really like the way that Knight wrote this poem.  It rhymes in certain places, and it doesn't in others.  It's free spirited, just like it's subject : friendship.  Throughout one lifetime, dozens of friends come and go.  Sometimes there is nothing we can do to influence what happens when it comes to our friends.  Sometimes they come into our lives when we least expect it, and other times they leave just as we discover that we need them.  But, as Knight illustrates through the character of his poem, all we can do when we lose a friend is look forward to the next one.  I really love Knight's use of his title phrase throughout the poem.  "I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind," and "Drifting away as my thoughts danced upon the wind."  It's a very cool phrase, and I think that it adds a lot of personality to the poem.  Speaking of personality, let me tell you about Kaitlyn...the sweetest most perfectest person ever.  She's pretty great, and she always makes me smile. This one's for you :)
