I Am the Wind

I am a whistling wind with a song to share, flowing, flipping, flying everywhere - shouting across every season swelling over seven seas. Centerstage, I will be like a weightless acrobat for all to see, soaring through the big top’s air. Sometimes soft but never weary, Sometimes silent but always there, weaving, wafting, wandering breezy, bold, and blustering Always felt but never seen, I will cool the lakes in summer’s sheen. With graceful willows, I will waltz to gently blow their leafy frocks, to whip and whirl their mossy locks. Never will I be a gale, just a playful breeze to sail. Yes, I am the whistling wind, To you, I will circle back again and will always blow at your back. A gentle breeze, you will never lack. Like a bird, butterfly or bee, I drift, but you will never see.

You paint such a beautiful masterpiece with your words that I can feel flying with the wind witnessing that painting. This is gorgeous Rhonda. Much love :)

Ever hear, "The breeze and I"? Like your verse as would anyone who has experienced the difference between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, Honolulu and Papeete, et al! Well done! Aloha! Rico

So lovely! I really like how you used the alliterative sets of three to anchor the poem. As well, the way you angled the words downward was very appealing to the eye and the heart. Kudos, Rhonda! Warm wishes, Gershon
