The Winds of Saskatchewan

THE WINDS OF SASKATCHEWAN


They  blow miniature drifts of summer sand through your car door crack
They sweep up the fall leaves faster than any broom or besom
Their hiss in October tells you, “Hey, winter’s coming,  just   listen!
They send hard snow  drifts across the road to surprise you on a dark night black

But

The perfume of the wind hints that spring is here, and flowers
The smell of the breeze after two month’s drought says, “At last, some showers!”
