The Invisible Wind

Have you ever watched the wind blow
As it whispers to the trees
The branches dance in harmony
To the tune of an autumn breeze

It's power demands attention
As it shows it's mighty force
It's destruction comes in hurricanes
As nature takes it's course

An unsuspecting leaf
Floats wistfully from the sky
The wind comes to it's rescue
And teaches it how to fly

The wind might be invisble
But we see the path it goes
It can touch most anything
And even pierce our souls

Very true. Wind can make things soar, cool off a day, or destroy everything. It could be a metaphor for God who isn't seen physically. His effects are seen, he is felt, hence love. Is that what you meant? I like it; I like poetry that makes you think.
