the wind at your back
wraps your coat around you
pushes you forward or
lays you low the wind
is ever at your back
it will not rest so you
can not time running
behind the wind spilling
away minutes weeks decades
one hundred years in a blink
howling snapping at heels
come a long way many
many more miles to go
task from the ancestors food
for the future the gift for the
present the wind at your back
