WIND

WIND

 
ON MY LAWN IS A WHIRLY-GIG
SPINNING
I SEE THE MOTION
BUT I DON’T SEE THE WIND THAT CAUSED IT
 
I’M WATCHING A METEOR SHOWER
I MARVEL AT GOD’S CREATION
FROM THE UNIVERSE TO ME
BUT I DON’T SEE GOD
MY VISION IS TOO NARROW
TO SEE ITS IMMENSITY
 
BUT THIS GREATNESS REMEMBERS ME
SO I EXIST
I SPIN IN THE WIND
OFTEN IMPERFECTLY
THE UNKNOWABLE IS PLEASED
WITH MY ECCENTRIC SPINNING
LIKE A PARENT WATCHING HIS TODDLER WALK
IT
WHO HAS NO BEGINNING OR END
RUFFLES MY HAIR
AS IF TO SAY HELLO
 
FRANK A VOLLMER
