Rowdy Wind

I O hasty zephyr blindly scuttles past, O’er dry forsaken mounds with tarnished grass; Between a pillared mountain weak but vast. A force that bends and fashions broken glass, Reflecting in advance, recorded path; Stirring fervent as it rises to pass. Transporting active seedlings gone with wrath, Existent flora blankets naked floor; Serenely downcast holds the aftermath. Disruptive wind that blows forever more, Invokes tenacity for longer life; Upon engaged terrain to salty shore. Melodiously blow away lifeless air, With wild direction - breathe - devoid of flair. II Invading wind complains with beasts of night, With howling moan that steals away a kiss; Until the dawn that takes thee from fine sight. Encroaching wind that sends away the bliss, On wings that will not cease to be aloft; Like thief of gloom, with not a thing to miss. Thou dare to scream at loveliness too oft, Transforming life to death and back again; Can gently spread with love a soothing waft. Assaulting wind declares where sites have been, Along a beaten course that dip and turn; Is carving grooves in mountains for new glen. Thou swift impulsive move not grave concern, Until all life has paused for gale’s return. Copyright © 2013 By Caryl S.
