the poem “the wind” is meant to be a representative of the feeling of nostalgia, showing how every memory and moment will eventually fade no matter how hard we try to preserve it. throughout the video and poem, butterflies represent memories and the wind represents time. as time moves, or as the wind blows, the memories, just like butterflies, drift farther away. the main message of this piece is learning how to let go and appreciate the past while fully embracing the present.
power on.
the glare of colours or otherwise,
each one, once personal
clear voices muffle
suddenly faint and silent
a familiar smell,
every crack, every step
like you’ve been here before
humming.
eerie, almost
comfortable in a way
the wind blows,
gone.
sun shows through blinds,
then to now,
time stops.
all was a thought,
they fade.
