Wherever the Wind Shall Wander

Karen L. Ruskoski

Wherever the wind shall wander
 the great conductor of the skies
all nature stands at attention
 only to bow as it passes by

What beauty to behold
 a silent symphony for the mind
a feast for all the senses
 laid out in perfect time

Where waters roll like ivory keys
 iris's trumpet in the breeze
the fields play on ...
 accompanied by dancing trees

For wherever the wind shall wander
 a masterpiece whistles by
you have only to stop.
 Look with your heart

And listen with your eyes...
