Strong Winds – Poem by Me

The wind whistles, taps our windows and
dares us to get up early in the morning;

do we listen? The trees are moving, dancing
and everything is alive, the way you've

always craved. Not a cloud in the sky swirling,
but the palm fronds wave and the grass sways,

tickling your feet. We have been waiting for
these bursts of cool air to rush through, 

to redden our cheeks and push us outside--
just to experience it once-- then push us

inside again.

I hope you enjoyed this piece. I know it’s a shorter one, but I felt it needed to be with the momentum and the topic of wind– I was inspired by a particularly windy day at home. It felt like the windows were shaking! On another note, I cannot believe it’s December… holiday posts to come. Stay safe and healthy out there, and feel free to leave feedback as always!
