The Wind

A poem about the wind

Photo by Valentin on Unsplash

Outside the windy breeze ruffles my hair and cools my face during a pandemic that invades my space.

It pushes the branches up and down swaying regally side to side a cooling sensation as the sun’s dazzling light glares bright.

It blows the leaves from the trees into my hair as I walk away feeling the freshness upon my skin making me spin.

If there’s a storm the wind will force its way upon the bay upon the houses upon the fields delivering decay.

The wind can whistle in the night against the glass, shattering the window as it cracks, a shocking blight.

The wind sings. It roars loudly. A howling, zapping, whizzing, comforting sound. It rumbles deep, a suffering blip of thunder it brings as it gets out of hand.

But alas, the virus is still here. The wind hasn’t wiped it away but left it for another day.
