gusty

today is a day
of thick, rolling clouds,
wispy, wind-blown hair,
full sweaters,
and heavy naps.
the shivering breeze makes me close
my eyes,
and instead of the warmth on their lids,
the emptying winds
assures me,
of something.
exhaling my own gusts
to join the large crowd gusting like crazy today,
i suddenly remember
how happy i am.
