A whimsical poem about the wind and how we have learned to make music about and with it.

Listen to the Wind


Have you ever listened to the wind?
Gentle whisper of a brief breeze?
Tinkle of the wind chime tease?
Rustle of the leaves in the trees?

Tap, tap, tapping on windowpane?
Whiplashing fury of a strong storm?
Howl of a blizzard on the high plain?
Bearing down sound of tornado train?
Or the roar of a hurricane all night long?

Wind instrumental of subtle sound.
Its tonal quality always surround.
One never knows when the wind blows.
Only its sound as it comes and goes.

Primordial melody of the flute,
clear crisp clarity of the clarinet,
raspy graspy growl of the sax.
Echo of trumpeting horn call,
Majesty of the organ’s mighty all.

So whichever way your wind blows,
listen for the sound as it comes and goes.
Familiar sounds the wind always makes,
reminding us of the whim of life's breaks.

I love the sound of the wind, especially when it is snowing & blowing outside. I loved it more when in my camper I used to live, but here at this apartment I have to crack a window to listen to the voice of the wind...-e-

The wind. It is with us whether we know it it is there, Sometimes when it desires is to understand it is there we give it names like Irma,etc. The wind is a cooling breeze for our forehead. The wind. It is with us whether we know it it is there.

There is such magic in the idea of wind as a healer. I, like many, will ruminate over you images and abstractions, conjuring up our own memories of air's many movements. I actually spent 2 hours in a sweat lodge while taking a break from writing a screenplay in Oklahoma. I vividly remember the power of the wind out side the lodge mixing with the sensorial revelation my perspiration offered. Quite an addition to my visual and sweating experience. Loved this piece, Ron. It took me to many places besides the sweat lodge.
