The winds blow and gust

The winds blow and gust

the wind feels the smallest birds
It's got.
—Primus St. John, "Biological Light", Gift of Tongues

The winds blow and gust
written March th, 2021

Today the winds blow and gust
bending but not breaking the boughs of the pine
sending the last of the fall leaves swirling
along labyrinth paths only the wind can see.
We who can take shelter
in constructs we have sweated and sacrificed for
built to withstand the winds that blow
so proud of ourselves,
while the smallest bird
without a straw to it's name
lets go and rides the wind
letting fate take it where it will.

 The wind blows
Send seeds through the air
The Wind blows
sends smell from here and there
The wind blows
To drive the rain
The wind blows
Dry up everything again
The wind blows
That fill the sails to move along
The wind blow
Thru the chimes to make a song
The wind blow
It can be a friend and a foe.
One can only pray how the wind blows.

 Very good. Might I suggest “ withstand the mighty gusts”? Just a thought to add a descriptive element.
My name is MrWrong and I approved this comment

I want to be a better poet. So I try to write each day, I read other poets, and I read books about writing and poetry. I know I need to interact with others and critiques would be helpful. Anytime you see something please let me know, gently. lol. I guess I want to improve, and I'm stubborn and get attached to the way things end up being written.

When I wrote this, the wind was actually battering against the house, but I just couldn't get that wording into the poem. It's putting that octopus to bed lol. Thank you for the suggestion!
