Best Gust Poems

All were gone in the gust of wind.
Not yet fully grown up into a woman
She was to leave home for a man.
What type of rules are they that bind?
Young girls to quit family for another
And before time, be already a mother.
None ever bothered to know...

I 
languish
beach side on
a blanket by
an azure ocean
perspiring profusely.
Then comes a soothing coolness
wafting its wonder over me.
It fans my sun-drenched face bringing me
refreshment and breathing sweet peace to me.
It whispers in my ear tranquility;
lying on my back, I’m so at ease.
Oh, gentle gust, you are...

Our vicar was describing Hell
When it suddenly rung a bell
I dreamed that in Paris
I climbed up a Ferris
Then on to the Tower I fell ........

Where sorrow and silence reigns
When all words are used up

The bottomless grief
Loss gives the feeling of hopelessness

You fell asleep so quiet when the journey was over
Goodbye to nature and animals you were so fond of

We feel a emptiness, yet you are close
You were for us...

Cloudy, sun filled skies,
The breeze composes its odes:
For the love of trees....

As I look back, my love, I see smoke not the ashes 
And finally I come to see the truth 
Just as we are we were made, by our hearts and so we 
paved the roads that built our Rome 
Like a gust of fresh...

Two wraiths in a gust in-between frames with a Third

...was it when i bumped into you last
           a little put out by the awkwardness
         something not willed...

Fresh from Pentecost, our celebration
moved to lunch in the Rectory garden,
with views to the coast, for inspiration.
Spread on tablecloths we'd hardly begun
the quiche, ham, tomatoes, salad, or pies
when a westerly gust lifted our fare –
cloths and paper plates with lettuce and fries.
We reached out to...

Today while enjoying
morning walk in a garden 
fortuitously
a gust of fresh wind 
touching my cheeks 
moved ahead and 
my body experienced 
a super natural 
vibration all over
as if new energy 
were infused in me 
by that gust of wind and 
taught me to make 
nature...

“How-do-you-do?” the seminal leaves of Autumn wave.
“When would you like to fly away?” prickles the gust.
Maternal-oak holds on tight as one birdy takes flight.

The gust will have none of this ballyhoo, knowing
what he must do, calls for fingernails-on-chalkboard rain,
for the bad-wolf-wind, for lightning, insane.

“Toodle-loo,” says...

you better than anyone
know the power of words
their careful selection
their perfect timing

mostly though you know
the power of reserve
of holding back
of innuendo

the suggestion with nothing said
no commitment
no evidence
no trace

the knock
the open door not entered
like the wind there and gone



Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~THE RIGHT...

into side  must thrust
wind would come up with a gust
did survive from dust 

we knew they were trans
which had been part of their plans
either Fred's or Fran's

we love our mother
is perfect like no other
even another

fire seemed to spread
trees burned up than were dead
dreamed of...

On a crisp winter gust of wind he blew in. 
Rousing me to wakefulness as he gently touched my skin

Just out of the blue
As if he knew
My existence had grown dim 
And I needed him

And now at last I could see
The face to the angel...

Wind
Stills hearts
Writing light
Into the souls
Who believe the night
Is meant to write her dreams
Into the music who flows
Across the gentle life who sees
Beyond the hills, the trees, into hearts
Who know what it means to give completely

Hearts are meant to offer the sweetest grace
Pouring love out to...
