The Inhalation of Skies

 

  i am Wind!

i am the inhalation of skies
lungs of terrible draft
and willful fury.

i am Tornado!
i spin with hell's
centrifugal anger
and i will sweep far
your most worthy foundation.
i will lift high and dash your infants
with more ferocity
than Herod
stripping away every
cherished
prize.

i am Hurricane!
i will level your cities
break your levees
and forbid your populace
to return
rebuild
re-begin.

i am Wind.
i am deaf to
cantons of mercy.

when you believe you are safe
build monuments to the slain.

        But
I WILL RETURN!

I am Destroyer Wind.

No, man. It's you who are inspiring. You keep at it. I was in a writer's guild here in little old Lexington, SC for a couple years. Many if not most of those folks hardly ever wrote.

But you. You keep writing masterpieces and keep putting them out there. Little messages in bottles. Glad they can wash up on my shore again. It's been too long.

My pleasure to catch up. With the writing you do, you must be a reader. Happy to be back. Can't wait to see what you're working on and your forthcoming book. Wouldn't mind sharing mine with you. No pressure. No strings.

Peace, Brother
