The Restless God of Wind

Awakening from slumber it thrashes around,
that which was once, now completely unbound

It shouts at earth with an unsettled mind,
it bashes and smashes destruction entwined

The might of the wind, the cold and the rain,
together they tether to the roamless terrain

The wind that it calls brings a tear to the sky,
not the smartest of wings refuses to fly

A defeating gasp, it's point is not made
a fury above, a beast enslaved

Twirling and twisting young parentless leafs,
the darkness now blankets the fallen trees

It's voice just a whisper as it falls to it's knees,
the rain trickles through the sullen breeze

It's anger now spent as it tries to sleep
calm yet unresting, over the shadowy deep

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Brilliant, your pace matches the harsh action of the wind, and your description thought detailed manages to remain very ethereal and beautiful bringing the nature your talking about to life, Lauren
