The birth of wind
begins in the trees
an evening breeze
at dusk that settles,
nesting like fledglings
teetering on the edge
of spindly branches
tumbling,
eventually
swooping to embrace
a new day.

peaceful

The whisper of the wind through the trees ~ it's vibrations speak of life uninterrupted.

So many think so much of you

But I have some problems, Lots of feeling and good poetry essence. I just don't see a solid object. I still have problems with the lack of punctuation. Rhythm is solid and nice flow, but no POV. Point of view. No question that it flies..., but it makes no rest upon the earth. Needs to be grounded. Just a bit.
