Lonely Wind
How lonely art thou 'O winter wind
thou solitary traveler
bringing naught but ice and snow with thee
'O harbinger of desolation
thy gray skies casting their shroud
chastising the sun
that it might never again
let its warmth fall upon the earth
leaving only a bleak
and barren landscape in thy wake.
Travel on thou agent of despair
that once more might the land be reborn
and that the streams might again flow
freed from thy bitter grasp
That the sun might be allowed to shine anew
calling forth the trees and flowers
to blossom and bloom
transforming that which was dead and frozen
into a world teeming with new life
a world made all the more beautiful by thy handiwork
My thanks to you 'O winter wind
and may you travel this way again
Kevin Ryan Duncil
