West Wind, East Wind When western winds smell of the sea And bring the sound of surf to me, Then I must rise and quickly go To watch the breakers, row on row. Ten thousand miles they may have run To reach this beach in morning sun. I watch awhile, the marching lines. The way each blue swell gleams and shines. The frothing crest that curls to break With trails of bubbles in each wake And where the rugged sea-stacks rise, Their impact throws spray at the skies! The eastern wind brings scent of trees. Of fir and spruce, borne on the breeze, That conjures up a memory Of forests stretching endlessly, Before the axe and saw began To claim their length and strength, for man. Now either wind can stir my soul And as I watch years take their toll, I realize each precious day Of wind that carries songs my way, Must be enjoyed.Held close to heart, For all the treasures they impart!

Betty Lou, just like Mother Nature herself, the elements of earth’s splendors yearn to converge at your feet... Each one, all the more, vying for your undying appreciation... “I realize each precious day Of wind that carries songs my way, Must be enjoyed.Held close to heart, For all the treasures they impart!” What a wonderful appreciation of our planet’s wonders!
