WIND



It rustled from where unknown,
Unseen as the clime to come.
Why wait for what is already here
In the dark ,heat light or cold.
Hear but bear the torrent as rain to be seen but not to be carried.

Who carrys the wind will live
But who stops the wind will be gone.
As a kites' paries rented in suspense amidst
the flight,
On a Gloss of gum my painted portrait of cyclone stays on.
In life,  it's exit is timed and soon will be gone.

I watch me descend if i where the wind,
I come and go but none knows and can tell,
Where and how is left in the wind.
We all look but see indented,
Imagine if we know for ourselves,
Then the courses which carries the wind will be known.

It is akin to a  new wine in a new wine skin,
Fresh forever and scarce for never.
I have asked the trees why they danced , the waves why the roar, the birds why they soar;and the beast and men why they breath, their answers where found in the wind.

    Wow! This poem is an absolute delight to read. It's beautifully written and full of thought-provoking ideas. The imagery is vivid, and the personification of the wind makes it even more intriguing. I love how the poem seamlessly blends together the elements of nature, making it flow like a gentle breeze.

    If I may suggest something, perhaps adding a bit more structure to the poem would make it a bit easier to follow. It could help guide the reader through the ideas presented in the poem and highlight the core message.

    Overall, I think this is an excellent piece of poetry that captures the essence of nature and the mysteries of the winds. Well done!
