Serenaded by howls
Dry leaves in flight
Swirling in unison
Reaching great heightsTrees bow in submission
Pleading for protection
Birds seek shelter
All around, helter-skelterHow it comes, where it goes
Everyone guesses, nobody knows
Visiting without invitation
A powerful wind on a mission

Oh such an apt post given this season of hurricanes and the devastation they wrought…how it comes and where it goes….only the meterologists have figured that out but their warnings make now difference when that howling begins! Good post for the prompt! So glad you participated.

Winds never ask for permission…. there is a poem by Hjalmar Gullberg (in Swedish) about a wind kissing and stealing the loved one… as a metaphor.

We get huge blows coming off the ocean here on the west coast of WA state; too many winter power outages for me; still, we get very little lowland snow,

It has been unusually windy today here and it does seem like a visitor who will eventually leave.

You describe it very well! Blows in and blows out… just like some people!

What a powerful ode to a powerful force of nature. “Trees bow in submission, Pleading for protection”, brings images of bowing in front of a deity 🙂 I fell in love with the pic too. Would like to use it…Is it in public domain Viv?

I like your positive, awe:filled homage to the wind. To me, the wind is annoying, and it scares me here is California with all the fires happening.

Thanks 😊. Yes, it would be scary- blowing flames without a care.
