The wind brings a feeling of change

Something's changing; I can feel it.  I don't know what's changing or how, or even if the feeling is external or internal.  All I really know is that it's something large and fundamental.  The air is stirring around me and somehow pulling me.  It's a feeling of forward momentum.  Even if I wanted to, I don't think I could stop myself.
Something new is coming.  Everything else will change because of it.  I can already feel small effects, like the swell of water before a boat.  My mind hovers in a becalmed limbo between states.  I can't concentrate properly.  I didn't sleep last night.  My skin tingles and my fingers dance.
And I write.  It seems to be all I can still do effectively.  It feels like all I have been doing for the last couple of days.  I've even been thinking in prose, a half-disembodied narrator describes my thoughts and actions to myself.  Still through it all I continue to feel this strange pull forward.
Something is changing.
