Show Me the Wind

Show Me the Wind.

Fragrance of Bluebell, threads between Pines
Caresses gentle crisp Oak leaves, in falling times
Falls Acorns gently, onto beds of Ferns
Whips up sand, and its ripples, in tide that turns
Fans the wild fire, in the dry summer grass
Turns umbrellas inside, out as people walk past
Whispers in sea shells, asleep on the shore 
Carries mists in land, rattles the front door
Keeps coloured kites afloat, held tight by a string
Enables tin whistles, their dance song too bring
Moves amongst hedgerows, and startles the sheep
Blows wild black bin bags, along the dark street
So show me the wind in its glory and form
Accompanied by lightning, moving closer a storm.

The wind can be friend or foe. When she is gentle I adore her but get her upset and look out! Loved this John. Congratulations on your win! New year blessings

Nature has gifted us so many beautiful things to write about. Unfortunately not everything that blows in the wind is natural as you mentioned 'blows wild black bin bags' great write.
