Catching the wind

Just like the wind

you come and go

floating away

on the thermals

which brings you

to tornadoes

of your hard life

But the wind knows

its way home

home to my heart

you can take

some breath again

With every time

the wind brings you

back home to me

I feel that the wind

is lifting me up

higher to other spheres

I never have imagined

With each thermal

you bring to me

I am growing

to find my own way

on my way to the sun

Giving me strength

light and warmth

to love myself

so I can move on

to higher thermals

catching the wind

softly and serenely

While I find you

you who don’t give up

finding a way out

fighting against

trying to fly around

the tornadoes

of your hard life…

Author’s note: I wrote this poem about the deep layers of love and compassion with its challenges and struggles between me and my best friend/lover with mental health issues.
