Wind's Promised Grace

The wind is an easel of darkened hue 
Under hanging clouds, my breath meets the sea
Where tears on night’s air linger to review
This pain once needled by love’s trickery.

Like a wing that rises on one blessed flight
Across the shores of hope trilling a dream,
Its fragrant air hums gently to rewrite
The end of sorrow wiped by a moonbeam.

And zephyr flings its stars , its promised grace
In hymnal joy for my essence, now whole;
Like a child of strength this gift I embrace
As tears become holy drops that console.

When life is pierced by rainstorms that invade
I think of wind chimes as my serenade.

Using the wind to change your perspective from gloom to peace is astonishing. Nette, a brilliantly structured poem.

We should never let the rain dampen our spirits and just dance in it until the sun shines again... This is a lovely sonnet, Nette. The vivid imagery enhances the strong emotion of the piece... Good luck in Shadow's contest!
