The Wind

by Joseph J. Biernacki

​

An unseen force; it informs our sensibility of the sea in which we live.  Listen, look, identify the scents and the human passion carried on the wind.

I carry with…

A chill, and formless, melancholy scent,

A bird aloft,

A whirling cloud of leaves in rising vent,

The autumn rains,

The ocean spray, a dandelion’s seed,

The joyous clangs

Of far-off bells, and prayers of those in need.
