Laughing Is the Wind

Heavy is the wind That carries human anguish O’er fields of death To settle a score Gentle is the wind That cradles a love song And comforts young mothers Widowed by war Laughing is the wind At human disconnection And failure to hold Onto lessons of yore Crying is the wind As it mourns forever Those we have lost To touch nevermore 8/22/17

I like how you oppose heavy-gentle and laughing-crying. It's a poem of mourning, and I like it very much.
