The Wind
As the wind picks up speed
suddenly
time seems to go faster.
Every hour seems like only ten minutes,
then soon
days turns into hours.
Yet the wind keeps going faster and faster.
Suddenly I'm 13 in a matter of hours,
hours turn into minutes,
minutes turn into seconds and seconds
turn into milliseconds.
By now I'm 25.
12 years have suddenly passed by
and yet I didn't feel different
I felt
the same as before.
Outside I heard the wind picking up speed
once more.
Then suddenly I'm 30.
Another 5 years have passed just like
that but something feels different, in my house,
I find a wedding picture
On the wall but this was no ordinary wedding picture.
It was
Mine.
But I heard the wind pick up again
and this time 20 years have passed
I had two children
and I hardly even knew them
and they were already in college
.
I looked at myself in the mirror
and was shocked I had grey streaks
in my hair
then I heard the wind blow once more
Now I was 67 in a matter of
seconds
I had 7 grandchildren.
I saw my daughter walk in
she looked so much like me.
She looked at me and smiled and said
"How are you, old-timer”
All I could do was laugh.
Next thing I knew my son had stepped
in the room with a big grin and roared with laughter.
I don't want to leave this
But I heard the wind picking up and the next thing
I knew I was 98
In a hospital and I hear my daughter
and son crying
they were saying something but I couldn't
make it out
Then suddenly the room got darker
I could have sworn I heard
“ don't go !”
but it was too
LATE
But the wind it was so
Overpowering
then any other sound
then the next thing I knew,
I was flying and
I see me on my deathbed,
Everyone they were bawling with tears
all I could do was watch.
I swear I could still hear the wind blowing while I
ascended to heaven.
