Poem    Where the Wind Is by Grace Fleming (4 ratings) Rate this Poem (5 best) 1 2 3 4 5   I look at the leaf, so high and lonely seeming, but not alone, swaying in worship of the sky, glow-green beneath the perfect blue, and I, delighting with it, say: I want to be where the wind is; up there, where it stokes the leaves and makes them shiver in ecstasy, where God’s touch, both cool and warm, is ever bringing me to life, where wings make me a giant, where light makes me a star, above the shadows, below the sun, at peace but always changing, trembling but always still, never so secure as in a storm, never so alive as in silence, where the wind is. Then I look at the leaf and remember when that was enough to believe in the tree. Sponsor ads
