I
a gentle breeze blows
softly through the trees and grass
changing direction
II
dandelion seeds
flutter like snow in the wind
contrasts with the warmth
III
squinted eyes shield gusts
remnants of a storm just passed
waiting for the sun
IV
the wind tells a story
though it’s difficult to hear
patience plays a part
V
sometimes it brings sun
other times a greater storm
expectations reign
VI
shelter scarce to find
it’s havoc wrought with peril
let go of control
VII
calm always returns
yet still we will always know
it will leave again

Wonderful as always.
