not the golden wheat swaying in waves
across northern fields of summer
though the corn bends to its will
in curved rows between the fence lines
I saw the wind
the wind that caused the trees to sway
that gave rise to the vulture's soar
the wind itself, I gazed upon and understood
Creator gave the sight that day
to see the wind that flowed as music
the tempo
the tones
flowing down the valley near
across the sky
to deliver me that sight
of unknown beauty
or boundless rage unleashed
on that breath on blessed earth.
I saw
the swirls of colors in my outstretched arms
to lift my spirit from within
to glide as that lone eagle
and kiss the moon in day's reflective light
As now I open my eyes
to my feet planted in stone
I ask of my Creator
to see the wind again.
Another dream that came to me a while ago. There was no "enhancements" to create this imagery, just an imagination of sorts.

Now you know what Van Gogh saw! (Smile.)

I'm glad you like this, Gillena. Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteI enjoyed your wind poem, Joel, especially the image of a vulture soaring
ReplyDeletethe wind itself, and the lines:
‘to see the wind that flowed as music
the tempo
the tones
flowing down the valley near
across the sky’.
A lovely way to look at things that most people think are invisble.
If I didn't have work to do, I could watch the turkey vultures ride the updrafts and circle through the sky all day.
DeleteI have unusual dreams once in a while and I'm glad you like this. Thank you, Kim.
I love the comparison of wind to music. Both usually unseen, but most assuredly felt.
ReplyDeleteI like that thought, Rommy - "Both usually unseen, but most assuredly felt." There is truth in those words.
DeleteThank you.
What a magnificent dream, and how beautifully related. Well done!
