Whimsical Wind

whimsical wind        
your element intangible        
yet you touch us all        
showing off your true colors        
while invisible        
       
Perpetually artistic        
shaping the clouds        
like faces and animals        
parading through town        
       
Flags slapping in tune
reanimating dead leaves
briefly taming the sun
a bit of relief
with a cool summer breeze        
       
Spreading our arms        
closing the eyes        
facing into your gusts        
to dream we could fly        
       
Your gifts are so many        
like a close friend        
I enjoy your whimsical stories        
they always transcend
