I had never heard this word before 'windstill'  Common in Pensylvania. It inspired this poetry. 

Windstill  ©


Subtle silence
Windstill
trees await the next 
message on the air

Windstill
not a whisper of birdsong
not a leaf-rustle intrudes
as it falls
fluttering down to the ground

The wind has departed
beyond the next hill
leaving in its wake
Windstill

Will it return? The breeze
dancing amongst the leaves
to the tune of the forest

Shall the still wind haunt
amongst the trees?
or come roaring back, shrieking?
Windstill
