The Wind Is Blowing..... Poem by Portia Burton

The wind is blowing...
-To help a trapped leaf
To get free and fly
From the clutches of brambles;
-To make the placid lake shiver,
And break into some musical ripples-
Like some girly giggles;
-To instil into the wings
Of new-born birds
The knowledge and rhythm of flying,
-To sweep off the dust
From the luscious leaves,
And make them shining once again;
-To carry the fragrance of the flowers
As the message of the spring,
And also
-To play with my hair
And fill with joy
My whole being.
The wind is blowing...............
