Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Gentle Wind Sonnet

Gentle Wind Sonnet


East wind blew this far south today
gusts that soothed my weary soul
There at my sweet spot on the bay
sitting there in tree filled knoll

Songbirds singing to Spring's step
a melody of sun's splashing light
Beauty so fantastic I openly wept
dreading days ending into the night

Blossoms giving that fragrant smell
jostling branches right in tune
As if the earth rejoices to tell
fair weather right on into mid-June

Wind gusts that eased my old pains
gentle ones bringing no hard rains!

Nature soothes and poetry inspires. I read the fine poems of poets such as yourself and others here to both inspire and comfort me as I travel thru life.. I write to try to give back that to others...
