Unwinding

Source

Who has seen the wind?
Who has touched it yet?
Like the image within one’s heart,
Untouched and unharmed.

Who has seen the wind?
Or dared hold it back?
Like an untamed horse,
Wild and wayward.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
Like our deepest cores,
Still unexplored, enclosed.


This poem is shared with Carry On Tuesday and the prompt was the first two lines of Christina Rossetti's very short poem "Who has seen the wind?"

    Like many things we cannot see, we know the wind is there...because it has touched us.

    You carry the theme nicely here, leading your reader to wonder about the secrets held in nature... and in their own.

    Beautiful, peaceful, livid, flowing... indeed, who has seen the wind? You obviously have touched it. Or been touched by it...

    Lovely imagery. We see the effects but we never see the cause at all.

    I find the poem about the wind to be very refreshing, deeply spiritual and very broadening for the sake of personal reflection. The poem reminds me of the nature of humanity and the humanity of nature and shows the Creating Force (The God Concept) to be mutually inclusive and life-giving and sustaining. It is a powerful little poem that leaves a lasting mark and I have sincerely appreciated reading it. Thank you for sharing.
