wind howling across rock.
scathing, burning and alive,
it once was but
now, now
quiet.
clouds rush,
charging like buffalo
along the flat plains.
once peaceful
now, now
enraged.
wild lands,
until,
a break in the sky -
crepuscular ray.
down floats a bird.
now, now
calm
graceful flight,
swooping low
close to my heart
a feather is bestowed
from her brow
into my hand
now, now
love
