Story on the Breeze

• Artist: Run_like_the_wind
• Description: This is a poem that I wrote back in 2008 after my English teacher left our school in the spring to return to Washington for more cancer treatment. I did not know then that that would be the last time we would see each other.
  
  He was the best editor by far that I had ever met, and he helped me immeasurably with my poetry. We tried to keep in touch, and he was a dear friend to so many people.

Stories on the breeze are told,
Whisp’ring softly, plots unfold.

Listen to your heart’s content,
While gentle words help troubles vent.

And as you watch the sun’s last glow,
You’ll find the story’s one you know.

Think back to the story’s start,
Just go up a chapter in your book at heart.

Now a day in September new,
You meet these people close to you.

Even if the miles ‘tween,
Aren’t few, you’re in our dreams.

The breeze lets out a placid sigh,
As drops of memory wet your eye.

Close your eyes and get fair sleep,
And know in my thoughts, it’s you I’ll keep.

Waves lie flat on tired seas,
As night kisses this chapter of our story on the breeze.

** I would like to dedicate this poem to and in memory of J.C. Lawrence; a man who loved many and was loved by many and showed courage and strength to the very end.

We miss you. **
