Windswept




The trade winds blow, shaking their souls
quaking through the canopies; necks and trunks
whip and lash…
Rising up-racking, building tension
escalating in cleansing saltwater sky
that weeps and purifies, absorbed.
Shared with the earth.

An everyday occurrence-that appears from nowhere.
It seems normally rare, the current passes quickly still
                                                there lingering with explosive force, held tight in calm evening air.
Moving like a phantom; an evaporating apparition,
the mirage-leaving no trace, yet even still-
made anew.

Holding on its back the steamy hot mist
carried on the verge, a balanced cups of tears.
Shifting of power, tilting the scales.
A release of struggle- temporal in state
the come and go electric emotion charge

the trade winds will always blow...

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
