Springtime quickly aroused the winds within
the two of us.
Winds so beautifully similar,
but fascinatingly different.

Prior to the seasonal shift,
our winds danced individually upon the earth,
cool and calming,
refreshing and tranquil.

Two breezes swayed nature in their own territory,
lifted the spread wings of birds to new heights,
and filled the sails of ships venturing upon the ocean.

A wind from the north and one from the south
blew incessantly without much commotion
until they met mid-Spring.


Their sudden encounter caused a twisting of the element,
a ravishing tornado,
a delightful combination of two now excited gusts of energy.


The twisted winds moved together through nature now,
brandishing tree branches as weapons of happiness,
and stimulating waves in the seas to break up the silence with their song.

The tornado was more benevolent than destructive;
any witness of its beauty
could attest to that…
But the enchanting mess of winds was forced to a halt
as the north wind continued northward
while the south traveled southward.

Summertime will allow for our winds to dance individually
upon the earth,
cool and calming,
refreshing and tranquil
once again.

And though every witness may attest to the fact that
each wind is still happy and beautiful,
whirling through nature with its simplicity and pleasantness…

Something will be missing
until autumn causes our winds to meet once more
and wrap themselves together in a picturesque chaos.

THIS is BEAUTIFULLY done, my friend.  I love it. Very refreshingly worded I might add.

Very ingenuous way to describe loves awakening along with the changing of the seasons. Very expert and professional.
