Annuals

in fullness

blown away

A LOVELY LITTLE DAYDREAM

Ever Wonder

Does the rain doubt its purpose
sunrise question its calling
gale winds their destination?

Do snowflakes know their beauty

Thoughts of Wind

The capricious wind forever plays,
Rolling tumbleweeds 
Toppling old trees,
Resting to a breeze.

Mysterious wind comes from where no one knows,

weeping in silence,
but the tumbleweeds
sway in the mist of spring,

arid whirlwinds spin
 spread scent of dried pine needles ~
  forest pursues rain

sirocco mistrals
 winds gusts wither tumbleweeds ~
  summer heat shivers
