Wind Woman

I am the Wind Woman

I am the Wind Woman

whispering through the trees

rustling their leaves with laughter

twirling the air in constant rhythm 

of motion, bright and cold in

early spring, playful with hints 

of warmth, evoking smiles born

from breezes that bring them

out of their docks to sail smoothly

across rippling waters, their flags

flapping to the tempo of my voice

beating to the rhythm of my breath. 

 I am the Wind Woman

lightly passing over

your skin, delighting

in gentle afternoons

beams of sunshine floating

on my dancing wings 

open and welcoming

as blossoms, their faces  

brilliant and shining, awakened

to the buzzing of bees, arisen 

to the trilling of birdsong. 

 I am the Wind Woman

whipping wildly in the night

proclaiming my power

sending you down the path

with my strong gusts

and while you sleep, I too shall rest

stilled until the dawn 

when with my wispy fingers I’ll slip

through the cracks of your windowsill

soft as the sparrows’ wings  

floating on the steady beat

of dreams.
