Trusting the Wind

Alone and dark
Lost in emotion
Unsteady steps
Wide eyes
Breathless in the uncertainty

Desperate to run
Scream into the tunnel
Endless darkness
Only a promise of light
No proof, save the wind blowing by

Wind that surrounds senses
Brings familiar comfort
Of scent and sight
That look
Always reassures the end of the emptiness

But all I have is the wind
Rushing around me
In my heart
Steals my soul
Without evidence, trusting the wind

Eeriness the stillness creates
Trust must remain
Inner strength is solo
Tense nerves await
Hurting for the brush of the wind again

Desperate to awake
Impossible task
As sleep eludes
Waiting...
Hoping for a stronger wind than before
