Fourth Wind

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING


Fourth Wind

 

When the first wind blows

The heavens whisper blessings

A lullaby of peaceful dreams

 

When the second wind blows

Our senses set alert

Dust stirs and leaves scatter

We watch the evening sun

 

When the third wind blows

All creatures are alarmed                                              

Dogs howl and birds take flight

Dark clouds invade the sky

Tall trees bend and fences fold

 

When the fourth wind blows

Terror rips through a darkened sky

Trees fall and mountains tremble

We hide ourselves in shelters

Huddle with our loved ones

Pray the storm will pass us by

 

We are at the mercy of nature

The four winds and hard rains

Years of drought and melting glaciers

Typhoons tsunamis hurricanes

She commands our respect

As we beg for her forgiveness
