In the Wind
Figure of a woman in branches shaped by the wind.


In the Wind

She stands, a tree in winter,
wind blowing through bare branches,
unmoved by life’s hard weather,
a tower against the storm.

Yet hear the tempest’s tearing breath
give tortured voice in hollows worn,
see, the lady slowly shatters
in pieces far behind her strewn.



Line count: 8
