We sing along with the wind
as it pampers our skin, seasoned
from days in the sun. The leaves
rustle in accompaniment
as if the evening knew the rhythm
already. Perhaps
it merely borrows the tune
from us,
breath tied together on the breeze.

I love these lines,
“as if the evening knew the rhythm
already. Perhaps
it merely borrows the tune
from us,
breath tied together on the breeze.”

Our breath tied with the wind and all of the rest, such organic harmony. Beautiful poem, Phillip.

Whatever the source of this duet (or more exactly, chorus), being in harmony with nature should be a priority.

Excellent quadrille Phillip. I found you breeze perspective on the word season to be most effective.
