Texas Winds
No matter where I go, Texas winds find me.
They carry subtle scents that make old memories come alive. The miles don’t seem to matter nor do mountains, rivers, valleys, or streams. I can’t go far enough that Texas can’t find me.
Sometimes it flies in from the radio with one of those old songs or it floats down in the moonlight and tries to carry me away.
More than once, it has wakened me in the middle of the night with a soft whisper in my ear. “I’m still here”, it seems to say.
The thought makes my heart soar for Texas fun and all the memories I have locked inside.
I left Texas but I know Texas will never leave me. Texas will always say “Come home. Come home”. Oh, Mikey. If only. If only.
