The Wind

 

From where does it come

to where does it go?

From where does this energy flow?

a gentle breeze to cool the day

can scatter everything in its way

With a sudden violent gust 

it whips up all the dirt and dust

Then it meanders and swirls

and about turns and twirls

Sometimes a powerful and destructive force

but from where is its limitless source?

When it has travelled along its way

does it go somewhere to stay?

It seems to have a mind of its own

blowing wherever it likes to roam

It cannot be touched or seen

but one can see where it has been

It is often warm or cold

but never does what it is told

Breathing and whispering night and day

it is forever at work and play

Sounds of it rustle through the trees

and blow about the scattered leaves

It charts the direction of rising smoke

and orders such by a simple stroke

From where does it come

to where does it go?

Does anyone seem to know?
