The wind is a spectrum that vanishes

The wind is a spectrum that vanishes

without a trace or a sign behind

and yet, its presence adds

an essence to life that is not fleeting.

 

From the tender breath of spring

that whispers between trees and branches

even the fiercest winter hurricane

that tears the clouds with its flame.

 

The wind is an emblem of life

the force that in the world slides

and yet it has no measure.

 

Thus, the wind shows us its greatness

although it disguises being a breeze

and when blowing it takes us towards that certainty.
