Who Would I Be
I Wonder
I wonder if the breeze remembers me
On those long summer nights
Playing under the moon and stars
Restless and full of life
Still a believer in love, hope and second chances
Or has it forgotten
All the promises we made
Backs to the wind and fearless
Before the moment life taught me its lessons
Has it forgotten the innocent laughter and heartfelt surrender?
Moments before the heartbreak
When happy made sense without explanation or reward
Who would I be if I hadn’t stopped trusting?
If I would never have known broken -
Who would I be if I was happy?

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Yes, the breeze remembers---every time it turns into a sharp cold wind that slaps me across the face & asks, "What happened to you?"
This was magnificent the question it asks at the end. Lots to contemplate

Many questions; not many answers... A very sweet and bittersweet poem about what we could, should, would be...
