Wind
Tearing my breath away,
Snatching the warmth from my body.
Bracing myself, I rock and sway,
Leaning against the fierce gusts.
Head bent against the blast,
Examining the hoary ground.
My fearful little shadow cast
Sharply on the wind-swept white.
A timid rabbit trail
Erratically wanders the snow;
Light footprints and a downy tail
As he hopped from bush to bush.
Because of the wind,
I notice the smallest details.
Because my head must always bend,
I observe these simple things.
Snatching the warmth from my body.
Bracing myself, I rock and sway,
Leaning against the fierce gusts.
Head bent against the blast,
Examining the hoary ground.
My fearful little shadow cast
Sharply on the wind-swept white.
A timid rabbit trail
Erratically wanders the snow;
Light footprints and a downy tail
As he hopped from bush to bush.
Because of the wind,
I notice the smallest details.
Because my head must always bend,
I observe these simple things.
