A Teacup Full of Stories

Hi there! This is poem I wrote recently which I hope you enjoy. In this piece I tried to concentrate on sounds and line breaks – do you think they worked? Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts!

I Cried for the Wind

Today, the wind told me
a secret in a breath
of air brushing past
my ear in a sinuous caress;
they told me of all
the places they had been and the things
that they had seen,
and I wondered
how they were still so weightless.
I wondered how they had not 
grown heavy and dropped 
like my heart grew heavy 
and my tears fell
in silent mourning 
for the wind.
