The Wind

I wrote this at a friends house June 29, 2008, and just now revised and filled in the blanks.

The wind calls to me,

it calls me to stillness,

it calls me to calmness.

The wind draws me

to quiet and peace.

 

The old and gentle giant,

the tree rustles in the wind,

and reaches to my soul,

the spirit of the tree entwines my soul,

and shows me power and strength.

 

I hear upon the wind, 

the mournful song of the dog,

calling me to enlitenment,

 all is not always well,

but peace is ever present.

 

The wind flows around me,

bringing me the breath of life,

the wind flows thru me,

exciting my spirit,

calling to live in peace.

This is so beauiful and relaxing, well written I can feel a light airy feeling in this write.

This very is nice. It has a calm, serene feeling to it, especially the beginning stanza. Then towards the end the wind picks up ever so slightly. Great poem!

Reading this piece is very calming and restful. At the same time, the imagery is so dynamic. :)

Wow, all this based around the wind. How clever, how creative! Great idea, and a joy to read.
