Norwegian Forest Cat

I have this posted on my other site but see that traffic there has been a bit sparse, which I totally understand given my lack of writing lately. So, I will post it here as well. I will still be writing but have had many irons in the fire as late so please be patient and more posts will come. Hope all are enjoying their different Seasons everywhere.

I created this art from a photo friends sent me of their recent new family feline friend. His name is Max. I wanted to give them a gift for all of their generosity of heart. They have enriched my life in many ways.

Jinn of Wind

The wind bears no animosity
nor is it fickle
inherently

as appearances
are always in flux

though transformative it will be
ushering in both life
and death

for the Anemoi brings forth
all seasons
in turn

where one day the breadth of it
blows clear the darkest clouds

emanating life giving sun
sweet scented
flowers
erupting

the next morn could bring
a stillness of breath
pollution a miasma
of death

yet still always ushering in
tempests and squalls
a familiar to rain

leaving a swath of destruction
to change yet again
with the softest
of breezes

that seem to settle within
touching, reflecting
life’s gentle
rhythm

Anemoi the gods of wind
are the ushers of change
a transformative
jinn
