The WindA Poem by JohnL
Previous Version This is a previous version of The Wind.
THE WIND
Out of the citrus glow of squeezed oranges in a twilight sky,
I watched, hands protecting eyes from dazzling sight
Of cloud shift, moving with evening wind, free as air, and high
Above the mountain’s jagged crest, flowing with un-corrected flight
That far-away places might taste the future benison, shed
Upon parched places, providing food that man may eat,
Fruits, and goodness, yet more oranges that mankind may be fed;
Tokens of beneficence in the colour of the squeezed sky we greet
Tomorrow, through shading hands at clouds, borne on the wind,
Breathed across the world; clouds - - - on the wind, - - - the wind
Clouds, breathed upon the wind.
