With the seasons in a transitioning period again, from cold to warm and before you know it onto hot, it seemed a good time to throw some poetry about. Mull over the words and move with them. See how long it takes you to figure out what the topic is (it’s at the end, if you can’t figure it out). Then think about how you feel about the topic. Maybe you’ll want to write something up yourselves. Feel free to share here or on Facebook!
The Essence: Mighty or Meek
Wisps wafting against the skin
Filling soul and mind
Blowing strands to life
Icy fingers creep down necks
Invading, penetrating force
Cresting the barrier of protection
Warmth – heaven brushing the canvas
But furnace heat – relentless
Heating inward to disturb the soul
Howling its call, whooshing, rushing
Unspeakable movement molding trees into art
Fear drenching, torrential tempest – unyielding
Scarcely a break...then
Silence coating the air
Barely a rivulet
Peaceful leaves
Rest for its origin
For a time–
Come to me, wind – insistent escape
Loosening the grip of stress, adorning our world
Yes, come, with might and with meekness; the world turns.
