The Restless God of Wind

Awakening from slumber it thrashes around,
that which was once, now completely unbound

It shouts at earth with an unsettled mind,
it bashes and smashes destruction entwined

The might of the wind, the cold and the rain,
together they tether to the roamless terrain

The wind that it calls brings a tear to the sky,
not the smartest of wings refuses to fly

A defeating gasp, it's point is not made
a fury above, a beast enslaved

Twirling and twisting young parentless leafs,
the darkness now blankets the fallen trees

It's voice just a whisper as it falls to it's knees,
the rain trickles through the sullen breeze

It's anger now spent as it tries to sleep
calm yet unresting, over the shadowy deep





No sources used.

Unweighted

They let the words seep through to your gentle heart,
Everyday like seconds and minutes apart.

Wandering through darkness with low self esteem,
until you found a river flowing with a poisoned dream.

A faceless man stood extending his hand,
the answer to a question no one can understand.

Together you walked down to the waters edge,
A few steps later consumed by the pledge.
