I saw the wind, the invisible wind

Dancing wild in this country town

Howling, whistling, piercing the night

with its haunting lamentation!

I saw the wind, the wild screaming wind

Pounding on earth with all its might,

Bending and tossing the willows with its arms

Tearing down trees and the last leaves

I saw the wind , the cold November wind

whirling the freezing windmills

Twirling the tall clouds and sending them

Fleeing down the dark green vales

I saw the wind, the beautiful catastrophic wind

Raining stories of love and war

Enduring paradoxes, consoling, alarming

Emptying and filling!
