Touch

a touch of wind
pushes the vine
off its path

Moves

salty wind moves
nothing but the clouds
just breathe

Kindred

Weeping willows
shed not a tear
Long tendrils sing
with elated grace
Content to follow
and bend to the wind
Branches obey
for kinship’s sake
between what stands
and that which moves
For without one
the other goes unseen
There can be no dance
without a gentle sway

c.b. 2011

Listen

Wind chimes sing
with clanks and pings
Lofty gales caress
a soft, sweet message
The pendulum sways
every which way
A hymn of repose
releases all woes

c.b. 2011
