Taming the Wind

All twirlygigged and twist of arm
can you see it in the flay
the branch is bent this way and that
and the wings all feather perfect are open
laying on the finest thread
a clean swoop onto the branch
that caught the triangle tissue in despair
how find the flow and how repair

It’s in a grace that feels the pull
though just a string it catches fold
of how the current speaks like dance
and hand on small of back just so
seduces the movement into flow

yet from watch of day all blue on blue
how catch and hold the play
or find the perfect tale
to spin again into the feel like that
on this earthbound today

You just catch it every time -- the personal part of the scene. Dunno how you do it so beautifully..... it just seems to shine out of you.

...and the child becomes
a bit more with the wind,
and realizes...
just who has been seduced...

lovely, lovely, lovely...
