Wind Song

"Wind Song"


 

Whispering secrets heard, as she passes through the trees 
        Fluttering, shaking, caressing, thousands of shimmering leaves

            She cools the farmers brow, whips up dust devils in the fields
                       Bringing the scent of rain and hope of better yields

                                   Flag gently waving with abreath of air      
                                            Or billowing wildly with a gust and fanfare

                                           Dancing on the pavement, leaves crisp and brown
                                                   Swirling high in the air, slowly spiraling down

                                                   Holding the magic of a trains' lonesome notes
                                                  Cherishing a memory as the song softly floats

                                                            Oh! and the fury of the hurricane gale
                                    Or spinning and churning, as a tornado spits hail

                     She soothes us... she cools us... her repertoire has no end         
                 This blustering, billowing, breezy, thing called simply...Wind
                                                                                                               

                                                                           Debra Irsik
