A gust of wind

poetry and i are becoming close friends.  and i'm kind of liking it.

Life is like a gust of wind
That only some can feel
While there are some who spend it faking
There are some who make it real
They take note of every detail
Every breath and every smile
These people are the ones who tend
To make life worth the while
They embrace the sun with open arms
And let their hair flow in the breeze
They hear the song of laughter
And see the dancing of the trees
They are the barefoot runners
Racing in the sand
Ocean waves around their ankles
While holding someone's hand
They turn up the radio
To dance right in the lane
They live life with a mindset
That sometimes seems insane
Yes, their kind is very rare
The rarest of them all
While the world sighs and hangs its head
They keep on standing tall
You complain that you have little
Though they have less than you
You get angry in the bad times
And they help you see them through
The others, they don't feel that gust
Or all life has to give
So let your hair down; feel the wind
This is life; it's yours to live

p.s. my pandora's being nice to me today! souvenirs by swtichfoot, nothing to lose by mat kearny, i just haven't met you yet by michael bublé, and soul sister by train? yesssss. #pandoraforthewin!
