Wind of Change (Ravin' Ink Group Submission for 1/18 - Wind)

First, there is the power of the wind, constantly exerted over the globe... Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it. - Thoreau

... and it blew

huffing and puffing

ripping, swirling and stuffing

in a strange sort of even exchange

thank god for the wind

it sweeps up broken pieces of yesterday

and more importantly

it knows where to look for loose change

Author's Note

"In short, as a snow-drift is formed where there is a lull in the wind, so, one would say, where there is a lull of truth, an institution springs up." - Thoreau

dear Pete.... the Wind helps me move blithely in the direction of the Sun. The Snow Birds twitter Love songs... where blue skies gather for worship on the silver linings... softly, Pat
