I came
Like a soft breeze,
Silent, barely felt
By the mighty world around me.
A seed
Blown in by the wind to settle,
Unnoticed, until it
Grew up and brought life
To this place.

#NaPoWriMo2019 Day 3–Prompt write a poem involving time. This maybe a bit off Prompt but i thought it seemed to fit.
Basking in the warmth of her sunshine
I walked awhile with March
Dreaming of hot summer days
Until she led me through a glen
Where winds blew cold
Thru shaded trees
Where Winter
Hid Spring’s

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. —Charles Dickens
Dressed up for winter
Mrs. Jack Frost’s cloak imprinted with
Icy blue like lace
Trails across my window pane
Reminding me of ocean waves
Tanka
On my walk today
I met very strange chap
Full of energy
Haiku
My mind wasn’t focused on You
Like a leaf in the wind
It swirled and twirled
And got carried away
To wander in places of doubt
Coming to rest on the fence of indecision
Caught in the fear of unknown
Where it began to wither away
Without purpose
Until the force of Your divine breath
Caused it to stir, awaken, and break free
To soar to higher places
And sit in the heavenlies
At Your feet
Soaking in the truth of Your word
Now it’s a mind renewed
To do good works
And walk in Your Spirit on earth
It no longer wanders aimlessly
Blown by winds of uncertainty
For it awaits resurrection
Where it will live forever
On the tree of life.
Free Verse
Through the open door they dance
Inhibitions unlocked
Freely they fling
Flashes of color
Detached, moving with abandon
Come to rest at my feet
I gape at the beauty of the leaves of Fall
Come to entertain me
On this windy day.

#OctPoWriMo Day 24
Word Prompts: outside, unlocked, fling,
freely, gape
Sun kissed petals
Of pink dancing in the wind
Each in perfect form
Haiku
Day by day the same
Routine is like clockwork
Until suddenly came
A fresh wind blowing blessings
Ordinary was no more
Tanka
Waiting for the wind
To fulfill my only purpose
Patiently I stand still
Senryu
“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8
Whispering
In the trees
Nipping at my nose
Dancing with the leaves
