Sadie's travels and the Wind's sadness interlock

As she travells, the wind travells too. The wind is as old as time
and remembers all. The girl is Sadie, and she cares not for the Autumn
wind or the dying Summer's sun, but cares only for the new place that
she will leave for. The wind follows Sadie, and sees the girl forget
her childhood that she has spent here in this place.
In Sadie's later years, she will forget the feeling she had when the
brook in the middle of the cool forest became a rushing torrent, and
carried her a mile downstream. She will forget the feel of a warm yet
cool breeze in her hair that always drove her home, to the fireside, to
the warmth, to her two brothers and sister. Sadie wasn't lonely. She
just liked to be alone with the childhood place.
The wind was as old as time and knew how Sadie longed for another time.
Her mature years were approaching, and the little girl in Sadie had
gone, and the bubbling brook didn't seem important, and looking at the
setting sun wasn't beautiful, but boring, and the warm wind was
forgotten. Sadie had forgotten what it felt like. She wanted to be with
more other people her age, to experience more things than the
confinements of the deep woodland countryside. The wind was as old as
time, and wished to be young. The wind wished to be settled down, but
an unknown force carried Wind around the world, to great places, new
experiences. To different people and different beauties, but Wind
wished to settle, and find the beauty of security and a safe haven, and
a place that Wind really knew. Wind flew from Sadie then, and cried,
and as Wind cried up in the black sky, it poured with Wind's tears, of
sadness and of knowledge, and Sadie felt glad to be leaving this place,
but was suddenly sad that she would leave, and knew that now she would
remember this place for all of time.
