Something flows in the wind that blows vibrations transform the world around. But not all souls are so privileged to know
The subtleties of a force so profound. Dancing among the molecules Of oxygen and light and sound,
Value surpassing precious jewels. A present in its present state, Presented to wise man and fool,
A gift to he who contemplates. Sun shimmering about the world external new sense of warmth now radiates
Gently, inwards it flows eternal, To semblance of peace does it return you.
And songs beautiful as young blind love, Jingle, whistle, over distant hill Mirroring the plains and stars above.
Birds are creatures that instill A sense of wonderment and pleasure. Sat on branch in forest, or on windowsills,
Knowing not their beauty in its measure. Having no sense of pride or vanity unaware they possess the richest treasures,
Their song will become my own eventually. Melodies so immense, simple and moving, Like darkness now envelop me.
Mother night so welcoming and soothing, In your embrace I banish all my brooding.
This was written in honor of Percy Shelley.
It is my (rather sorry) attempt at the terza rima, as he used it in "Ode to the West Wind." If you haven't read that poem yet, you should. It is gorgeous.
