Present-Day

By Jadyn Novak

The breath of the wind flows,

gently rustling the limbs of trees,

the leaves of each bush and flower,

and the feathers of each bird on a tree

The rhythm of the air causes a change in pitch,

hitting my ears like a screech of words and lyrics

The tone of the wind is beautiful –– 

a sound made from nature itself

The cool, crisp air blows by me,

carrying the scent of rotting leaves and changing seasons,

making me feel like I’m living in the past

I step forward –– into the present
