Sitting in my bedroom next to my window. The wind blowing so hard. It took me
back to my childhood days when I was a little girl very sacred of wind and rain. My parents always knew how to make me forget of the scary wind. I would watch my father put
on music in the lounge and singing to himself. Slowly he would dance walking
towards my room with a smile in his eyes and joy. My mother standing by the corner of the kitchen with a dish
cloth in her hands she’d look at me with a big smile and say “yes baby, get on
up and dance with your father”.
The music playing beautifully and the sweet sounds coming
into my ears I would get on up hold my father’s hands with my tiny little
hands. I’d step on his feet and allow him to move me with the rhythm. My tiny
body would move from the right to the left, right to left and I would close my
eyes and visualize myself dancing ballet in a stage full of people, I would
allow the music to take me to places I have never been, I would do moves I have
never done and I would fly up high, the music would lift me up and the wind
would move me around.
Oh when the song ends I would be holding on so tight to my
father and I would ask him to play another song so that the scary sounds of the wind would not scare me and
my father would say baby listen to the wind like you are listening to your favorite
song and close your eyes and picture yourself dancing on stage and slowly I
learnt to listen to the sounds of the wind and every time I was dancing to its
sounds I would change its colours too. I learnt to love the sounds of the wind
and today I can listen to it and visualize its colours. The wind has no colours
but it can be any colour you want in the world.
