I reached the shoreline close to noon,
salt drying on my sleeves from the long walk down.
The towers stood against the trembling blue,
wide and honest, nothing trying to be profound.
The wind curled gently around my chest,
steady enough to slow my breath.
For a moment, I didn’t feel broken--
just here, and somehow held.

I stepped between their towering shadows,
each one humming low like a distant prayer.
The ocean crashed in scattered patterns,
but the wind felt certain, always there.
With every turn of those endless blades,
something inside me turned as well.
Not enough to call it healing--
just enough to feel myself.

And in that wide and open silence,
my heart finally loosened in my chest.
No voice, no sign, no calling--
just a moment to breathe and rest.

In the turning, I found stillness.
In the stillness, I found grace.
I didn’t find the answers I was chasing--
but I found a gentler place.
Something soft moved through me,
like a prayer I didn’t speak.
And for the first time in a long time,
I felt complete.

I let the wind take what it wanted,
the worry, the noise, the ache I hid.
Standing there beneath the open sky,
I felt smaller, but not less than I had been.
Maybe some things don’t need meaning--
maybe it’s enough to be alive.
To stand where the world keeps turning,
and remember how to rise.

In the turning, I felt lighter,
like the day was learning me again.
Not healed, not certain--
but finally open.

I stayed long after the sun slid west,
letting the breeze rewrite my view.
And when I finally walked away,
the wind kept turning too.

Our protagonist stands beneath the Bangui windmills for the first time, letting the wind carry away the noise he brought with him. In that vast, quiet shoreline, he finds a peace he didn’t expect. “Windmill Hymns” is a soft, spiritual moment of clarity; a collaboration with Elvorin; based on the novel, Orange: The Color of Sunset.
