Bruce Mundhenke- A Poem

Amnesia

You...
Always thought that you knew,
Why wind moved through the trees
As it blew.

You...
Always felt that you had some insight,
About the stars
That fell in the night.

You...
Always felt that the sea,
Would deliver you
Where you should be.

You,..
Always made every mountain a hill,
Thought that falling
Could never be real.

The wind is blowing where it will
As stars fall from the sky,
The sea is deep and living,
The mountains are quiet and high.

But you...
Forgot that you came from the wind,
Didn't remember to bend,
Now you're left with nothing to send.

And you...
Forgot that some stars have to fall,
Falling stars
Are a part of it all.

And you...
Forgot that the sea is alive,
And sometimes
You never arrive.

And now...
In your nightmare, the hill is so high,
As you fall
You are praying to fly.

The wind is blowing where it will
As stars fall from the sky,
The sea is deep and living,
The mountains are quiet and high.
