My whispering wind!
Oh! The way you blow!
Past me, seed feathers
you do send.
Your gentle presence with
me, you let me know.
You blow the leaves to
the children's delight.
You play with the baby
bird's fear, on their
first flight.
With my head hung down
and I'm feeling low.
Upon my neck a warm,
moist feeling to let me know.
You lift my spirits
up so very high.
In my ears, you put
your gentle sigh.
Even in thought I feel
the squeeze of your soft,
yet strong arms.
Remain in my spirit, even
in your absence protecting
me from many harms.
You can make me feel
like an eagle gliding
in the high breeze.
Or like the richest and
most blessed man with
your encompassing squeeze.
Yet, you may unpredictable
blow causing in me ardor.
Still keeping me secure
from fret, providing just
enough of a safe harbor.
Looking into your eyes
I can see where that wind
comes from, you know.
I know where it ends up,
with a final gush,
completion's final blow.
During the night, your
sounds keep me secure
in every way.
Upon dawn the feeling
of that presence, always
provides me with a bright day...

Author Notes
I would like to thank Heartfelt Annie for here beautiful work to illustrate this poem. It is actually entitled, "Devil In The Wind." Regardless, I choose it because it best represented the flowing feminine quality that I wanted. I do see some sarcastic wit, but for fear of a tempest, I shall have that remain with myself.
This poem was inspired by TwoMoons poem, "The Harmattan Haze," being a similar treatment from the male view and being a very nice companion piece. Many thanks Two!
One other interesting note, if you feel like downloading the Merriam Websters On-line Unabridged Dictionary in to your, "right click mouse button," look up the word, "ardor." Though unintentional it signifies a change in the content of the poem, yet fits with the first half. In Cajun dance music, this is known as a turn. That signifies a change in the tempo of music advising the dancers to step it up! As Spock would say, "Interesting, that this can also happen in literary techniques."
The author is not responsible for interpretation of certain aspect of this poem. HA!
