The Wind Poem by Somanathan Iyer

The Wind



Oh! Wind! Where from you originate?
From high mountain cliffs?
Vast sandy deserts?
Wide spread seas around?
Or from the hollowness of the sky?
You are the life! You give us the breathe!
You roar in gales
You smile in breeze
Kissing the flowers
You bring the friendly fragrance
Ripping the rot
You bring the foulest odor
Rich and poor, race and creed
All are alike in your formless touch
When in rage you raze down
Anything that meet your might
In the gentle form
You kindle the feel of one and all
Oh! Formless great! Forgive us
Without you the creation is lifeless!

A beautiful poem. One does not know from which direction the wind comes. We can see the trees swaying to and fro. Clothes hanging on a line waving up and down. Most above all the air that we breathe is cleansed by the ever present wind. A thoughtful write.
