The wind speaks to me
In whispers and wails
Like the voices of ghosts
Fresh yet somehow stale
It blows an earthly peace
and also a spirit decay
Does it sweep from the heavens?
Or rise from the graves?
At times I am soothed
Others, I am chilled
Somtimes the wind flies smooth
And others, it could kill.
Calming is the breeze
Unlike its cousin storm
One drifts aloft to please
The other rages airborne
I hear voices in them both
A bittersweet entangle
The hisses of the ghosts
the singing of the angels.

Rattling, banging, crashing, howling,
Ripping, tearing; sighing

The wind:
Blowing, teasing,
playfully caressing
the leaves
as they cross paths.
Whistling, singing.

Wind swirls
Know not how
Gentle breeze
Across your brow
Rustling leaves
Musical sound
Quaking aspens
Dearly found
Winds
As gentle as a mothers kiss
upon her babies face
As forceful as some nitroglyce’
Explosive to erase
As kind to push
