Ode to wind

Wind,

Forbearer of storms

Clear and pristine

As dazzling as the stars

Motionless from afar


Gusts,

Rushing tempests,

Roving gales,

Reveries of zephyr

Pristine and pale


As the currents wash over me

Your embrace, soft as silk

The breeze against my hair

I can almost feel you there

An elegant dance

Skin soft and fair

I could dance alongside you

For eternity, without a care


You are all that I know

All that I love

Fleeting as you drift

The empyrean from above

Merrily you smile,

One no man could defile,

Elysian eyes serene tears,

A pair no god would revile

Exaltation analysis

The wind, something we all know of whether from love or hate. To me, wind is more than a force, but rather, also a concept in a way. When I feel down, I occasionally take strolls outside. The wind always greets me with care, and It does so with great elegance. It gives me some strength to continue living. Without gentle breezes, I'd be quite lost by now. It represents undying hope even at the end of my wits. This is why i chose to write an ode honoring the winds themselves, albeit, in a slightly romanticized fashion.
