Thoughts of Wind

Thoughts of Wind

The capricious wind forever plays,
Rolling tumbleweeds 
Toppling old trees,
Resting to a breeze.

Mysterious wind comes from where no one knows,
Look to the sky, unseen it blows
Black clouds leaden with rain,
Then it is gone, silent again.

Wind is the witch that is jealous of traffic
It shoves even cars to and fro,
And ruins hair and raises dresses,
Only to suddenly go.

Tornadoes torment wind’s natural inclinations,
Tearing, shearing the earth of construction,
It cries torrents as it was forced to do
Unthinkable chaos.

Then there is the wind that is the mighty angel,
Blowing the earth, planting its food,
Whistling, whispering, or breathing softly,
Without it what would we do.

The wind, what can one say! Without it, we'd still be in the ice-age. Descriptively expressed and enjoyable to read.

I love this poem Sunlite. I often think about the wind, how I love the breeze in the warm weather and feeling of it, yet in winter, it is howling and scary. This is so well written. A favorite :)

Love gentle breezes in summertime but as you say mother nature can be ferocious at times. Lovely verse Sunlite.
