Wind has a voice Has a force Reaches everywhere High and low and all around.
Sometimes it roars in long sentences Paragraphs and stories Nothing is untouched by its presence Its voice rises to high pitches and short notes Like small white caps.
Dancing branches, fronds swaying Feeling cozy, safe behind glass doors Mother Nature's symphony of dance and music No escaping its presence It cleans up all loose ends.
It tests trees, plants and grasses Akin to human challenges Wave upon wave travelling to shore Grey clouds above, forewarning impending storms.
A child's innocence exists Not fearing the winds greatness As one listens to her roar, roar and roar. I am nature's cleaner Lots to say, I come after the calm Before the storm and sometimes during.
My power demands respect Not as powerful as fire Thou humbles Man Creating decay upon the ground. Recycled for soil and new growth.
WIND THE ENHANCER OF LIFE.
A friend reminded me of this poem I wrote July 2017 because I have just survived a cyclone 5 Yasa. While our island was at the edge of the cyclone my three homes did not suffer damage. A lot of vegetation is down and plenty to clean up especially where the sea flooded over my lawn. With Gods blessing
