Sonnet For a Windy Day
SONNET FOR A WINDY DAY
‘cross cirrus sky swift brush strokes paint mares' tails
O'er restless tree tops’ anxious susurration,
The cumbrous clouds traverse in vaporous trails
Below, grasses are fanned - wild undulation
Lake surface whipped to agitated motion
Wildfowl, plumes ruffled pilot with discretion
Gulls inland now tell angry storms on ocean
All braced and taught by nature's bare aggression
When young I grasped such fury in each medium
Deplored concept and sense of perfect peace
Such state seemed recipe for endless tedium
Chose hazard over slow drawn out release
Now sometimes yearning for respite from strife
I embrace and risk winds that give breath to life
