Ways of the Wind

Who can harness the ways of the wind? A wandering wayfarer, it flows freely as it winds it's way o're land and sea. Wind can wake one with a whisper, like a gentle breeze that wistfully weaves it's way through the weeping willows. Or it can beckon one to behold the beauty it brings by wafts of wildflower scents that are carried upon it's windy wings. At times, a wild wind can wreak havoc without warning, like windstorms that whirl ominously over oceans or treacherous tornados, terrible and untamed. Wind waxes and wanes on a whim whilst working it's way around the world whether welcoming or warning it is a work of wonder. Written on 3/24/2016

Enjoyable with all its alliterations, so often tedious but here woven casually and apt in graceful interlace.

Good entry for the contest, Laura. Sure is a lot of W words. My favorite part was your ending ... "whether welcoming or warning it is a work of wonder." ...
