Returns


Swirling into the corridor
and past the steps in all directions
the Spirit of the Wind resides
in places where the sun shines
upon white sand and broad water
where the blue of the sky and blue of the ocean
come together on the horizon
where palm trees and green moss
invite it to cool them and carry
their essence into another world
if only this spirit stayed so calm
but the occasion comes when clouds muster
that water and the wind becomes angry
blowing up in its place and traveling
across the sea, with all the fury
of a spurned lover
as it hits lost lands to reclaim them
twisting, twitching, and pouring its heart out
until its tears have washed away
the anger and it returns to peace
