The Restless Wind

In my younger days
I heard a song
It sang
About A Restless Wind
That yearned To wander
Is Now
Leaving me wondering.

Was this restless wind
For the young at heart?
The Lonely?
Those searching for true love?

Or was it for those
With mates?
Whom others thought were blest
For not suffering loneliness.

Yet the blest, so called
Reach out
For The Restless Wind
So they too may wander
As they wonder, about the yoke
That's a burden
Around their necks.

ah, that need to wander...I remember that Wayward Wind that is a Restless Wind very well...thanks for the memory, William. Your poem touches upon basic yearnings and also upon the fundamental foolishness of humans who want something, then fail to appreciate it.

Ahhh, intriguing questions, to which I'll answer, "Perhaps!" A lackluster relationship and/or lifestyle will often prompt restless winds! Good poem, William!

I believe anyone who is lonely MUST have a restless heart because I do believe if you have ever known real love and intimacy with another life will always be with something gone..Good write..

As they wonder, about the yoke
That's a burden
Around their necks.

Quite thought provoking, William - and probably quite true in many cases.
