The Wind of the Spirit

The wind blows wherever it wills
Rustling leaves at its pleasure thrill 
Blowing at a fierce pace
In the valley where we hardly trace  

The wind blows where it wills
 It sweeps the top of the mulberry tree
 Leaves green fruits dropping in despair 
Denying birds the fragrance of the air
 
The wind blows where it wills 
We feel it, hear it, and sense it 
Where it comes we do not know 
It wills where it wants to blow 

The Spirit blows upon His own mind
A sound like a mighty rushing wind 
In ways we can't apprehend 
In tongues we can't comprehend   

The Spirit blows with aura of awe 
He operates by His own laws 
Not where we want Him to flow 
No! we cannot constrain His glow   

The wind of the Spirit blows to save
 Rekindles even dry bones out of graves
 He brings warmth and assuring power 
And fill us with dew like a morning flower

I like this story that is about wind but isn’t. It’s good that the spirit moves you.

Hello Gildeon Foli, this is the first time I have read your poetry, i want to say that this poem makes me see the wind in a different way. I like the last verse. Be safe. Enjoy your day my friend.
