THE WIND  By Davis Harris Your gentle puff and strong gust, Provide enjoyment for the the kite-flyers, The tiny portions of pollen you blow. Germinate and cause fruit to bear but when will you stop hiding yourself? Hurricanes and typhoons , Would all be like clawless, toothless tigers without you, The clouds all depend on you. But must you always hide? Your mighty fury causes great snips to be tossed about like leaves, yet when there was not enough of you. Ancient sailors jettison their cargo, But why are you always hiding. The cautious pilot, the speeding motorist. The tiny sparrow, the great eagles, The aged wind vane, the small anemometer . All know of your gentle whiff or sudden droughts, But when will you stop hiding yourself The swaying branches, the restless leaves on the sturdy trees, The particles of dust, the weary cyclists All know of your presence But why do we never see you?
