Listen to the Wind

“Wind teaches man lessons of life,
Through time and space to strive and strive.” By Author
*****************************************************************************************************************************

                     Listen to the Wind

Let us listen to spring soft wind's' arrival,
The voice of peace, hope and nature's revival
          As it greets new-born leaves with tender swings, 
          And caresses passers-by cheeks and chins;

Let us lend our ears to summer  vibrant wind
That ushers comfort and growth, warm and serene,
          Heated by the heartfelt shine of the sun,
          Rustling through green leaves of trees on the horizon;

Let us be all ears to the groans of fall's wild wind
Ushering grief and sorrow, as nature turns lean, 
          With flight of its foliage, turned saffron pale,
          As man's bones becoming decrepit and frail;

Let us prick our ears to winter wind's chilling sigh, 
With frigid frost raining across the sky,
          It howls through bare branches, a stark, cold plea, 
          Whistling its frightful, freezing, stark decree. 

Let us listen to the wind in line with seasons
          As gales of every spell change their tunes for reasons
          And across time and space, do teach man, life's lessons.

Sotto Poet September 8, 2025 at 2:39 AM Well written. Many emotions, including calmness, may be conveyed by the wind. The poem's whimsical and lyrical language evokes the wind's various states of mind—gentle, ferocious, and fleeting—and reminds us that the wind, in all its enigmatic glory, teaches us something.
