The Wind in My Life Becomes us All

Inspired by The Wind by Robert Louis Stevenson located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

A blowing afierce it can when it’s riled at the play of humans mean
The birds of air say nay nay we know when to shelter shelter for the wind whispered I am mad mad at them all

No kites will fly today today for I am throwing a mighty loud tantrum tantrum to show them all who I am
Brr Brr Brr the wind growled  here I come here I come rounded up in anger for you think I am stupid stupid that I don’t hear you

Differing weather makes no difference I saw what you did and told God what I saw I saw and told told told and he said go ahead and disturb them all and blow them everywhere until they understand the same
The same the wind whispered in low key yes the same that I am herico herosha kalla alem and will destroy them all if they do not mind the way I have them

The way is the justice and love of the Lord find me and I am you and you will be uplifted and the wind will love thee
