Tim Smith Poet Free verse

The Wind Blows

. . . and the wind blows

pushing the blue bird

higher   farther

past raindrops and darkened clouds

into a valley of golden sun     where

rainbows dance in her dulcet eyes

where worries wander away

and new days are hatched

. . . and the wind whips 

clearing out the old 

 preparing for the new

mixing the earthen mulch

from a fallen past   into

an unmade bed of fertile ground

A morning mist fills the meadow

dew drips off the first spring daisy

beauty overcomes me    

I hold her ever gently in my arms

watching

. . . as the wind blows

Timothy Hicks February 18, 2016 at 10:53 PM This felt very light and airy to me (and I'm not saying that because of the wind verses). You took me on a journey through nature and the joy of morning. "I hold her gently in my warms" ... I was curious on whether this refers to a person or wrapping up nature in your arms. In either case, it matters little, because it's beautiful nonetheless.

Skaidiv Morjin January 27, 2016 at 11:29 PM beautiful imagery and the structure of the write kind of sweeps you away into that picturesque valley, almost as if you were taking the journey with the bird, and then the ending strikes a bit of emotion knowing that the bird is possibly that someone you and i hold dear that makes all this magic true
