Wind Waves on a Country Landscape
by Elayne Clift

Dancing with a blowing breeze,
Sheets swing joyfully above a
Landscape full of fresh air and light,
While a green garden audience
Bears witness near a small farmhouse.
Alert to the vision of flying figures
That resemble free-floating angels
And frolicking whales,
We are reminded that you cannot hold the wind,
And the beauty it inspires.
