Captured.
The wind sees naught.
Sun and moon view height
with caution for they are not blind
but he gets excitement by onslaught .
The wind hurls harm.
His intent far from aimless
provokes rage in sea's breakers
before he deflates them with calm.
The wind works alone.
With heartless rush entraps
folk inside by rattling door latches
while for fun killing fires with smoke.
Yet wind gets captured.
In mill jaw's water-wet sails
fiercely he writhes but chained
tightly is forced to turn its paddles.

That's a lot of wind you get near those coasts Fay. More than we get inland. 'That's a lot of weather' as they say!
Yes we know about wind in this end of the land dear Orchi. Thanks for the visit and comment.
I know all about captured wind lol - great piece Fay.
Hhmm - I get your drift dear Michael - wind can be captured both outside and in - - love the wit in this comment my friend.
LOVE THE PHOTO FAY : Im a real Windmill freak ! : ANGELA. Thanks for another elegant Poem : love the shape : like the bases of a WINDMILLS ! We cant see the WIND but we feel its Power as wave power & coastal erosion (Which is one of Brians Research Projects) and Forest Fires are fanned by the WIND ! BUT like every Natural Force the wind can be captured and harnessed to produce Electricity (The MAORIS hate Wind Turbines but I love their SF Elegance !). Wind when harnessed loses its destructive nature and becomes constructive ~ AMEN. Thanks for sharing :
Love in the SPIRIT : ANGELA🧡🧡🧡🧡
Another most interesting comment dear Angela -- wind-force around our coastal area has an unpredictable nature and seafaring folk get the brunt of its precocious behaviour - so pleased the read brought out your love of things harnessing winds.
