have you seen the wind
I haven’t either
I feel the wind
when it cools me in the summer
I run from the wind when it
wrecks devastation
in the form of a hurricane
there are times
even when I don’t feel the wind
I know it is about
by the quivering of the leaves
on tree branches
it is an invisible entity
the wind
a daily part of everyone’s life
comforts and frightens us
friend or foe
the unseen wind

We've been in the 'teeth' of this N.W. arctic wind ...

Thoreau said somethin' like:

Men think they 'know' many things
But lo ... they have taken wings
All the 'arts' and the 'sciences'
And a million appliances
The wind that blows is far,
   far more
Than any man truly knows

Ahhh . . . Thoreau knew a few things, did he not? Thanks Bruce, for your comment.
