August winds
the winds arrive early this year,
leaning through the last days of winter
with their dry insistence,
moving across the month
huffing and puffing it forward.
august winds always carried
this restless breath
—a stirring in the trees,
a shifting of light,
a sense that something near
is preparing to open.
I feel it in the way
the air stirs up the stillness,
each gust seeming to lift
the long weight of the year
toward its next shape.
soon the calendar will turn,
as these winds press forward
our twentieth year coming into view
—not with fanfare,
but with the steady push
clearing a space
where days gather themselves
drifting into a line
toward whatever comes.

I got some August winds for ya alright
Haha! Thanks, dear friend. 🤩🙏🕊️
These winds seem a portend of a future set by the fates. They carry a sense of intimidation and concern. Well written my friend
Not sure that if it's a similar thing in the northern hemisphere. Around the equator, it might be in April, the winds... if I'm not mistaken. 🙏🕊️
You are most right Cryptic although winds may fall in any season it is the spring that brings them most.
a most thoughtful write my friend
Thanks Norman. Most appreciated as always 🙏🏻🕊️
always welcome
Arqios, this is beautifully reflective. I love that quiet anticipation running through it...change approaching gradually, carried in on the wind rather than announcing itself. Wonderful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️
Must be like our UK February there at the moment. One of us is upside down! lol.
It's hard to Imagine Winter in August up here.
Or Christmas in Summer for that matter.
An enjoyable Read all the same.
Autumn is my favourite time of the year Rik. Fine words.

It’s more visible in the western countries than in India but yes it does strike a chord nevertheless 🙏🏼👍
