wind-song
a rhymed, mirrored octet
earth
a s k e w,
shadows fall;
vile men, trifling,
selfish ends to please,
e c o s y s t e m s h a r m i n g,
leaving but f o r b i d d e n fruits
where have dried up hope’s lush fountains.
on fresh sunshine-covered mountains,
let the birds rehearse their flutes
with the wind-song, charming
in its treetop tease.
then the rippling
river s h a l l
bring new
birth.

Reminds me of a 'trompo' (Spanish) spinning top! It creates this song in the wind that keeps the earth going..

Ah, an interesting observation, Ljd!
Graphically, I can see how the shape accords with what you say; obviously, your reference signifies more than can be seen on the surface, in terms of purpose and emotive content.
You do make connections that others may not at first see, because of your own attention to the inner workings of the more subtle aspects of life.
