there is a wind
that blows
from where I stand
over land over sea
no mountain high
no ocean wide
can stop this wind
from caressing the faces
of those I love
wherever they may be
loved ones
from a line by Wei Ying-wu: those close to my heart
the day breaks
the night ends
not for naught
as long as I hold
those close to my heart
in these dreams
in these dreams
they come
family friends
in places
so long ago
comforting enough
to resist
awakening
when knowing
only in these dreams
will all of them
be there
