Caught In the Wind

Into my life she came,
As a piece of paper caught in the wind
Passing me by
Catching my eye
Ensnaring my interest
Moving abruptly
And ever so quickly
Past me
Unable to read the message
Written upon the gallivant.
Always moving
Retaining the mystery,
Making the three months spent
Feel as if it were an instant
A piece of paper passed me
Caught in the wind.
...I,
Missing the message.

I love the analogy of a 'piece of paper caught in the wind'.. it personalises this piece, and allows the reader to picture the atmosphere invoked by your words.

Always moving

I know that feeling...very nice poem. I agree with complicated, that reading it out loud makes all the difference. Great job! -Bon
