The Wind
The wind feels its way all around, touching
and caressing all in its path
The gentle breeze can kiss the lips softly and
gently as it glides by or can echo eerie screeches
as it roars over land bringing trees to life
swaying to and fro
The wind winds down alley ways, meandering,
swaying side to side and whistles a howling tune
past pipes, through fences, around lamp posts
and pylons.
The wind can thrash the sea into blustery salty
spray that conjures a rainbow over the beach
head and upward into the sky
The wind can turn windfarms into visible energy
It can take your breath away
It can cool your brow
It can assist you fly a kite loftily on high
But stop for a moment, close your eyes, stand
very still with your arms spread wide
Feel the touch of an invisible presence upon
your skin
Feel the kiss of nature's wonder and accept
the power that it brings
Respect the wind, embrace it, but be wary of
its strength then love it, for the wind is
wild and cannot be tamed.
