The Wind

Sometimes
I much prefer
the wind
in its wild fury
and roar,
its wave torn temper,
the wash
of a cooling breeze
on a summer's evening
and its whispered rustle
high in treetops,
in all of its moods,
to the fog still
and thickened quiet
of days
when the only
breath you hear
is your own.

Having lived on the California central coast for a decade, I whole heartedly agree! The only thing I don't miss about the beach is the fog :-)

You inspired me... just wrote a silly (stupid) one about the wind we have...

Lived in the hills overlooking Melbourne and had days on end of thick fog..very claustrophobic! Now live near the Bay, very little fog, lots of wind. Poem indicates my preference. Thanks Becky.
