Against The Wind

Oh Wind,

How many times have you encouraged me to go against you?

And I wondered why.

Why would you let me do that?

How many times have you challenged me to do it?

But I shied away from it.

How many times have I felt small trying to go against you and fall?

How many times have I said, ‘No more’?

But you never said anything.

You stayed quiet and were patient with me.

And then I tried again, and I fell again.

But this time I felt different.

Something in me was different.

I no longer felt small.

I said, 'It’s not a big deal; I will try again.'

And I did try again.
