wild wind blows free

wild wind gushes
wild and free happily
don’t try to stop
let her blow freely.

she does not exists
in confinement of walls
her very being resists
Suffocation of boundary walls.

let her dance all around us
spread her spontaneous vivacity
across the ocean and nations
across the villages and city.

let her dance with the trees
let her waltz with mountain high
swirl and tug the veil of waterfalls
tease the daisies and roses shy.

Water and wind

The wind swoops down
To touch the lake
It whispers to the water
We are so same
Yet so different
You are tied to earth
I on the contrast
Am tied to the sky
I freely roam by.

We both give life
We both mean life
Sun sees through us both
Oh we are so alike
Yet so very different
You can be held
I can be felt
You can be tasted
I can be inhaled
Yet are so one in diversity.

Fall

wind whispers softly
leaves sail down in breeze
fall weaves its carpet
