Windswept

it’s a windy day

after yesterday’s freezing fog

that tantalized an eager sun,

this wind deserves no title

it’s not constant,

being neither friend nor enemy

to warrant a name,

we mustn’t honour storms,

a name confers a character

builds a voice, a shape, a picture,

this wind deserves nothing,

do not fear

it will roar and be gone,

faceless, formless, nameless

until the next time.
