Be As the Wind

Be as the wind, and flutter through the leaves
For nothing fills the soul as do the trees
With murmuring and rustling of a dream
That swirls through shady parasols of green

Be as the oak in times of joy or grief
As seasons come and go, so does the leaf
Its hues of glory turn and spin around
And fall to sudden silence on the ground

Then be as barren branches in the cold
And make of winter, beauty to behold
Just as an elm in January’s wind
That gathers icy white on twig and limb

Be as the whispers in the April rain
For teardrops are the nourishment to pain
Then as the apple blossoms of the spring
Unfold your vibrant heart to dance and sing

Be as the warmth and coldness of the breeze
Be as the changing seasons of the trees

I am very, very sure
you meant for the tickle
of hairs in rise
to be the feel of the wind
in the read alone.

Beautiful, Lady Santos...
absolutely breathtaking...

Liz, like all your poems, this too is sensational. You have such a feel and love of nature and it comes roaring through in your words.

For nothing fills the soul as do the trees

How very, very true!

Hugs dear lady, Marti

Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you.

Well this is just flat out stunning...
one I am tree green with poetic envy that I didnt write..but then how could I...for as I read what came to mind was this is Liz Santos.."be the poet"

This lovely write goes in my tree hugging library.

When was the last time you felt this high,
you are the best I've ever felt.
Its so wrong not to be with you
Its getting harder to stay away.
