A Sand Dune Says To the Wind

A sand-dune says to the wind that moves Softly, passing him-by: ''Take me with thee, through valleys and groves Whence birds frolick and fly; Deep into a land of rain and snow, Is where I'd rather go, For this place holds no charm and I say, I'm wont to fly away...'' Hearing which, the whirl-wind lifts Herself to swiftly glide, Whilst in fear, the sand-dune shifts, Seeking somewhere to hide: But before another gust, like a child feeling quite lost, Is strewn about the sullen land by the one he did accost....

I got confused by this one? I see the dune as female in verse one? But you seem to be saying the dune is male in verse two? The wind would be YANG energy/male energy...the dune which is mostly stationary would be female/YIN any way I LOVE the concept for the write I just probably would like at least 1 more verse in between and to be SURE who was what ;) Congrad's Light & Love

Akash..this is a fine poem and a fabulous topic. It almost sounds like an Aesop's fable. Congrats on this super win. Gwendolen

The wind said to the sand dune "No dice, dude. You're stuck in the desert, and that's where you'll stay". Good write, and congratulations to you on winning in the contest.
