Almost Spiritual

Wind
Wild storms
Laughter amid thorns
Touching my face
Touching a deep place
Wind

Surrounding

Nature is a place
and not a person
Nature is the world
of the creation

Where life happens
without any help at all
Where rain and leaves
mean summer's gone; it's fall

The touch of wind,
taste of summer air
Sound of waterfalls
Sights and smells to share

Nature is a presence
around the patient one
Who waits to discover
Nature's secrets come undone

Child of the Winter

The wind is calling me
The rain cries out my name
I am a child of the winter
The shivering of leaves
Dancing of the grass
The sparkling of droplets
Gathered on cold branches-
These are my home.
The wind is calling me
To come and dance again
On the sleeping ground.
Can you hear the promise?
Soon the rain will bring new life
Warmth will fill the wind
And I will flit away to a new home
