I am the Wind Woman
I am the Wind Woman whispering through the trees
rustling their leaves with laughter
twirling the air in constant rhythm
of motion, bright and cold in
early spring, playful with hints
of warmth, evoking smiles born
from breezes that bring them
out of their docks to sail smoothly
across rippling waters, their flags
flapping to the tempo of my voice
beating to the rhythm of my breath.
I am the Wind Woman
lightly passing over
your skin, delighting
in gentle afternoons
beams of sunshine floating
on my dancing wings
open and welcoming
as blossoms, their faces
brilliant and shining, awakened
to the buzzing of bees, arisen
to the trilling of birdsong.
I am the Wind Woman
whipping wildly in the night
proclaiming my power
sending you down the path
with my strong gusts
and while you sleep, I too shall rest
stilled until the dawn
when with my wispy fingers I’ll slip
through the cracks of your windowsill
soft as the sparrows’ wings
floating on the steady beat
of dreams.

I'm also anticipating more forthcoming poetry publications this fall, and am looking forward to sharing them with you in the months ahead.
