Question

[Much like the wind that swirled around with a few fallen leaves, his mind whirled and buzzed with thoughts that would continue to move around, but never leave.] I can't think of a good way to describe thoughts like the 'wind.' Can anyone help, or does this already sound good enough?

Answer 1

Sounds good to me.

If you want more detail, add "autumn" before "wind" and it'll be more obvious what you mean.
