sight of sirocco's final morn ...

The dreary downside
upside down
come a calling
on a whitened sheet
of wind's painful
sorrow

the slowliest slow
every known to man
creeps still upon
the land('s)
ending
season

the marsh's wetness
seeps into lily pads
of comfort
and joy abounds
the natural
world

the glen's song
rises from yellow
and tangerine birds
hidden by summer's
gloaming
glow

the water's calm
smoothed by unwind
floats upon
dreams of
whitecapped
waves

the unclouded
sky-blue sky
looks out
to higher's
blackened
high

soon cranberry brown
returns to our
hazen humid
sight of
sirocco's
final morn

why, oh why
can we not see
the beauty
in its
patience(?)

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

might not be able to "see the beauty in its patience" but I can see the beauty in this poem....

MAMiller~

What a lovely tribute to the quieting
of the wind known as Sirocco~
From the Sahara it comes with the dry,
dusty winds ... picking up the much-needed
moisture so vital to the lands as it
skirts across the Mediterranean Sea.

It's such a pretty name for the wind ...
and I would guess a relief when it's done
howling it's song.

I enjoyed this very much.
