Her Wind In My Hair

The wind,
she blows where she whence...
where she wilt,
like a sea of ether,
like an unseen god she whispers,
and cries, and whistles,
and cools my face in summer haze;

She is always somewhere...

I love everything about the wind. The way it dances upon the skin. Yes, like a soft melody. This is so beautiful and tender, all at the same time. :) Brandy

Somewhere far and wide, oft in fury pushing higher tide... like a devil or angel true and fair blessings over pains, should we compare and even should we all expire; she blows as she desires, And she always will. Great poem my friend.A fav... Sorry, had to jot down those lines as they came to me.
