Wind Element

I am rarely weary of watching the wind with its wondrous ways
The breeze dances delightfully through the budding branches
At times it tumbles and turns and can terrorize my lady’s skirt
It is whimsical and wistful and its soulful song the heart entrances

I have heard it hungrily  hammer at Grandpa’s garden gate
Then turn tail and softly serenade the sweetly sleeping child
Skillful scientists can tell of the whys and wherefores of the wind
But most men are merely mesmerized, and by the breeze beguiled

Beguiling, yes, I used that word too because I feel the wind is enchanting. Your entry expresses the things I enjoy about the wind Barbara. Very nicely done with perfect alliteration! #7 GL in the contest my friend. ; )
