Day 269: To Be In Tune With The Wind

---

∴

to be in tune with the wind,
one must listen to it howl.

one must observe how it
bends the boughs about it
and suffer the leaves to fly.

one must stand amidst
while it swirls and whips
and bursts
in rhythmless beats
against you

because the wind,
with senseless mission,
brings with it
new seasons and skies.

to be in tune with the wind,
one must batten down hatches
and sturdy the branches,
lest the precious be lost
and the delicate break.

one must cease spitting curses
that simply fly back in one’s face.

one must listen to voices
carried upon it.
for the wind did not start
just for you.

and many have added
their wisdom
and protest;
the lessons it teaches aren’t new.

to be in tune with the wind
one must accept it’s arrival,
for the heavens are ripe
with transition

collecting the seeds
that are carried thereon,
sing loudly and add
to the voice coalition

 

and plant

 

when the winds have died down.
