I Am The Wind

I Am The Wind I am a force of Mother Nature, sent to blow the cobwebs from your minds, I am a shackled prisoner of warmth and cold, surveying the empyrean skies. I am without tears, but not heart, as I dalliance around the sun, in loving admiration. I am harnessed by the seas and skies, but for some bring only tears and devastation. I am dreams past of Egyptian pharaohs, timeless in pyramids laid to rest and hide, I am the hand that caressed the sands, to preserve those in dignity where they reside. I am the vanes spinning in all directions, high above the gaze of church steeples. I am the sorrowful slayer of souls who passes through the eye of God's needle. I am the love that drives you forward, and the brake that grips caution's hands. I am the breath carrying wings to safety, I am the brush that sweeps life's sands. I am a pilgrim for all seasons, I am transilient, a tour de force of life's extremes. I am not light, nor shadow, but the Wind that tilts the balance within your dreams.

Well blow me over , I believe we think alike more than you may think we think lol , Duck soup Revisited and the death of the pen quilled in action are two of mine you may like , or then you may not , but regards your poem I never ever thought of interviewing colours , it was unique and very witty . You inspired me to write an interview with the wind this morning , so thank you for that . Thanks again Daniel

I like this story of wind in its many forms. I found the verse about the sands of Egypt was picturesque. Thank you for this masterful Personification.

a magnificent and captivating poem, Daniel. Your personification of the wind captured the essence of the wind we all feel but don't see everyday...a miraculous and magnificent force. I especially liked: I am dreams past of Egyptian pharaohs, timeless in pyramids laid to rest and hide. Best wishes with the contest. I believe your poem is an outstanding contender. Enjoy your evening, Sara

Hi Sara, many thanks, I am so pleased you enjoyed the poem, there are never enough words to truly capture the forces of nature within a 12 line poem but it's the same for everyone else. As always thank you for taking the time to read my poems. Daniel

Hello Daniel, You beautifully capture the essence of the wind, embodying its power, mystery, and influence over the world. Your words are evocative and profound, reflecting on the wind's role in both creation and destruction, in love and sorrow. I love how your words provoke introspection of the wind's eternal presence in our lives, shaping our dreams and realities alike. Magnificent work. - Blessings, Daniel
