the winds took me away
to when i was young
yesterday
upon the Malvern hills back then
the blustery winds didn't care
man or dog, sheep or shrub
no nothing gets in their way
so blow me again today
blow my mind
far away
when long legs were strong
and the wind carried song
blow me again to that blustery
wonderful day

- Comment from author about the poem: It has been quite windy these last few days. Listening to the drone of the wind in my chimney led my thoughts to enjoyable hilltop walks in blustery weather. Battling the wind and marveling at the forces of nature always raised a smile.

A fine write dusk.
I enjoyed this DA, a very nice piece.
Kind regards, Alan
BRIAN HERE ~ Thanks for sharing DA. Much more windy in Lancashire (where I was born) than
Essex. Especially when one got past Lancaster and into the Lake District. In my experience I always think the wind refreshes the Earth moreso than the rain. In our poem today We mention the Sun driving the Water Cycle ~ it also of course drives the Atmospheric (Wind) Cycle ! When we have Odes about Nature (even at Her fiercest !) Im so pleased We live on Planet Earth ~ never a dull day !
Peace & Joy to You & Yours
Yours ~ Brian & Angela 🧡🤍💙
Love the visual ~ is that a windblown gamp ?
Happy memories you versed here my friend when younger long legs conquered both wind and high climbs - Malvern heights I too know well as I lived near that area for a while and found such adventure hiking those hills Love the illustrative picture you chose to raise a smile D.A. - - how great to be free on windy days to feel fresh with energy after tackling those hills whatever the season.
Those windy days can be so wondrous.
We used to go up to the Yorkshire Dales, God's country, many times. One day Joyce had down some washing and hung it out and it poured hard but the wind was so strong the washing was horizontal and to this do I cannot explain it bu the washing dried in the rain.

Very timely and apt … we have another on the way methinks...
the older I get it seems the more I love these childhood reminisces.. keep em coming .. they brighten the windiest of days.... N
I remembered when I was a child in the hill flying kites. Excellent!
