she that rides with the wind

arqios

 

Through the moor she whistles,

heartless intent disrupts the night.

Windows rattle, trees sway,

cries echo in the deserts.

 

Screams rise from the ocean,

a moonlit stride brings a chill.

Creating a breeze, her presence haunting,

restless in her journey.

    At first reading this made me think of the wind itself but upon seeing the part that said a breeze creates I wondered and then seeing the collections title it makes more sense to think of a broadcast. Bad news travels fast, faster than the wind. Yes it does whistle and disrupts the night. A haunting poem my friend.

        arqios, this carries a cold edge from the first line. The mood settles in fastโ€ฆbleak, wind-cut, unsettled. It feels elemental and haunting. Very powerful, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

        A cold wind is a blowing.
        Usually the metaphor for the Monday morning train cancellation tanoy announcement.

        You have captured the almost subconscious personification of certain winds I feel sometimes. Definitely.
