The wind gently blows <br />Across the countryside <br />Stroking the tops of the tall grass <br />And the delicate petals of the wild orchids <br />Not enough to disturb the butterfly <br />Drinking deep the sweet nectar nature supplies <br /> <br />The wind carries on into the hedgerow <br />Leaving dandelion seeds entangled <br />On the sharp thorns of the bramble <br />The birds nestle deep within this fortress <br />Safe from predators <br /> <br />Onward the wind goes <br />Carrying the mushroom spores <br />To colonize another green pasture <br /> <br />Where the wind stops <br />No one knows <br />It's just a carrier of the cycle of life.<br /><br />Philip Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wind-blows-10/
