We Can't See the Wind But Its Effects Are In Plain View
(A COLLABORATION BY NATASHA L SCRAGG AND ROBERT JAMES LIGUORI)
The luscious, long, green grass
Sways and sweeps and flows.
How far, how fast will this wind travel?
No one really knows!
This same wind could stir up
Whirls and waves in all seas.
This powerful force makes nature dance.
Our senses this does please.
Though it can be disruptive
On a minor or major scale,
It can uproot trees, tear roofs off houses,
It can delay or prevent sails...
It still has its boundaries.
This can be assuring to all, to me and you.
We can't see the wind
But its effects are in plain view.
Sometimes the wind teases us,
Playing with our hair,
Or has us swatting at thistles and leaves
Flying through the air.
The wind can be kind,
Tell to us our coffee's hot.
Or to move our rude cigar,
From its blowing spot.
Wind can be a gentle reminder,
To put on our kid's jacket
Or to lower our voice,
During a downwind racket.
It is always there soft or strong
And never with a hue, that is...
We can't see the wind
But its effects are in plain view.
