Wind
Tongue
Heart
Churning
Burning
Yearning
Tempest tossed
Flame-brands crossed
All feels lost
Rivers eddy
Warmth is steady
Always ready
Clouds raging linger
Pyres point the finger
Please dull the stinger
Storms are slackening
Fires are blackening
Soul is flattening
Hush! Little wind and be calm
Brush! Feed the fire and keep warm
Thrush! Shells crush, but do no harm
Sea of glass as flat as a plate
Soft embers blown by love not hate
The strength of words now marked in slate
I’m
at
rest.
