She Hears the Wind

By Cheryl Knoll

My book is inspired by the wind. Sometimes it's as if the wind is trying to say something. It can be a powerful force to deal with. We like to control things, don't we? We like things calm, right? The wind is out of our control, and we find ways to deal with it.One night after midnight, I woke up and told myself I could hear the wind. I started writing in the dark, and I wrote some of the wind poems. I had conversations with people who said they had never seen the wind like this ever in their lives. I know what they mean. We can't forget that God is in control. Always has been, always will be. The wind--I decided to have fun with it.

She Hears the Wind

She hears the wind, inside she sighs

For now, her flower world dies

It was disappointing, the loss

Her heart has changed, no flowers

Now moss

Her love of flowers comes to an end

Gone in the winds, no more to tend

She hears the wind and its powerful cry

No more would flowers live under her sky

There was a shift, it changed her plan

She hears the wind berating man

She tells the wind she understands

He must do this, it's out of her hands

Blow, wind, blow, blow up, blow down

Blow to the cities, the country, the town

Shake up man and make him think

While you're at it, blow out the stink

Her flowers now, a memory

The wind is blowing

She can see

The Source

Who can understand the wind's ways?

From where it comes and where it goes

Where it begins, where it ends

God is the only one who knows

Though while it is traveling unseen

It searches for those whose ears are keen

Alas, the ears that hear are rare

When found, being grateful, it will share

You will learn things you did not know

The wind can be your friend or foe

Deep things, knowing ears will hear

Special words to keep, they will stay near

The one with the power to control that force

The beautiful words come from that source

Love in the Woods

In the woods, him and her

Under towering trees, they felt a stir

Birds sat quiet, the breeze was low

Deer looked on, they walked by slow

He loved her, and she loved him

In the evening when the sun was dim

He reached out, she took his hand

They stood and kissed in the wooded land

He was strong like the trees

She was soft, like the breeze

In the woods, in the woods

They stood like trees

Love's roots were strong

They prayed, "Lord, please
