The Breeze Rewrites

Now that the breeze has learnt to write She can choose to rewrite autumn as spring To redefine spring as waiting Now that the breeze has learnt to write She can transform the urge to travel into a curse And curse those sticking to a faithful path Now that the breeze has learnt to write Coming together is described as moving apart Love, portrayed as a weakness A tree, something that cannot give shade Now the breeze can extinguish our lanterns Give credence to dusk, dismiss unreliable dawn Oh all you who teach the breeze to write!
