Jay Narain Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

Wind

Quote: And the tree said to the wind: “Leaf me alone!”  -- unknown

I am the invisible wind, always present but never seen 

I'm not just a void; I can be gentle, whispering songs through leaves 

I carry the sorrows of parted lovers across great distances 

But I'm not always gentle. raising tornadoes, leaving destruction in my wake 

In fields of gold, I move gracefully, causing waves of wheat to dance 

The fragrance of flowers is mine to carry, intoxicating all in my path 

I roar through mountains and valleys, uprooting trees and tearing off rooftops 

Often, I bring thunder and rain, casting a shadow of misery over the land 

In cities, I'm naughty, playing with umbrellas and lifting skirts with my  gusts
