It’s because trees have leaves
That we can see the wind
It’s a rather nice blend
Of purposes

It is, isn’t it? “A nice blend of purposes.” I’m glad we have leaves, and I had never thought of that reason before. 🙂 Thanks Annette. 🙂

This surely brings to mind that lovely poem I learned to recite as a child: Who Has Seen the Wind?
… but when the leaves bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
Christina Rossetti.
Thanks Annette. This is a happy remembrance that came to me thanks to your lovely poem. So, doubly, thanks. I wish you miracles.

A lovely Abhanga poem, Sis. You’re right of course… we see the wind blowing things around, don’t we? I really like this! ❤

🙂 Thank you so much. I have to say that the tree right outside my window has to take credit for so much of my inspiration these days!
