Wind

Ah, Wind, we've known each other so long. While creatures run quickly from your side, I've tried to find kindness in your song but your howls become hard to abide. You loudly roar blowing doors ajar, trees bent weary by ceaseless pummel. I hear your rumble, beginning far announcing yourself, never humble. Beneath blue skies, a rustle of leaves, a gentle breeze stirring grains of sand. Clever Wind sending Zephyr to tease but we now know the tricks in your hand. You can charm dust into whirling dance spinning her round as dust devils fly. Then do your best to spoil a romance with your chuckle as they reach the sky. Unmentionable tantrums and blows, your foot stamping when you are annoyed. Leveling towns, do you regret those heartbreaks caused as you merrily toyed? Sometimes forlorn, or is that a guise, when quickly you stop, tempering voice? is that sadness I see in your eyes? With flashes of scorn, you make your choice.
