Wind

I am among you

darting among the trees

glinting green

dancing among the pink petals

I carry the sweet scent of new life

I carry the laughter and smell of salt

the revelry of the sun

I provide cool relief to the farmer

who works the land, our mother

to provide nourishment

Caw! Caw! My friend the crow cries

as I support his wings

when he flies among the harvesters

making the little girl giggle

as she picks her pumpkin

The trees whip as I weave between them

I leave shimmering white in my wake

in this I am cursed

by those who do not appreciate icy beauty

I am the storm

I am the cool relief

on a hot day

I am the blizzard

I am free
