The wind, a king

When the wind blows,

My heart, entranced in a lapse of time,

In silence, beats faster

And grows everlastingly stronger.

 

The trees bow before

An unknown king

Of times lost long ago

And birds fly, swept by his robe.

 

This king that is invisible to eyes

Is kind of soul but strong and brave,

He howls when cruelty strikes,

Yet gently blows when things go right.

 

All creatures know him

And yet, they don't.

For he remains hidden 

From dawn 'till dusk.

 

However, his prescence alone is felt

Throughout the world who holds him dear,

And feeling surpasses the view,

Strenghtens believe and courage too.

 

The king remains with us

And walks through our journey

Unseen yet there and known to be

When the wind blows

All things are filled with glee.

Personally, I really like it.

Personally, I really like it. I like it because it alludes to a "great spirit" of some kind...but does not force a belief of that spirit. It simply says that it exists, and that all beings feel it's presence. There is nothing else to say!! 

 

I like it. :-)


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
