Poems by Valerie Dohren : 147 / 169
The Wind
The wind blew oh so wildly
The night my father died
It rag`ed like a tempest
And on that night I cried
Yet upon my wedding day
The wind blew sweet and free
Gently o`er my bridal gown
To bless and honour me
The wind blew calm and softly
The day my child was born
Whisp`ring oh so tenderly
To welcome each new dawn
And it shall yet be quiet
No more to rage and roar
When`er my life is over
And I will be no more
The wind will blow in fury
When`er the world shall cease
Then linger still and silent
When all that reigns is peace

This is excellent and almost like a lullabye. So tranquill. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful! This has such a seemlessly soothing rhythm! I like you use of ' (forgive my ignorance, this probably has a proper term!) to break down words so they fit better. I read without tripping over my eyes!
A very nice poem with a sense of hope about it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Lovely soothing song-like quality.
