Winter
I'm very much the morning
not in the west. Yet
From the start
you see me
rolling in from there.
South is the warm one
North is the cold one
routes are crossing here
from time to time.
Whooshing not roaring
roaring too much.
The snow really
muffles the sound
Silent winter
snow shines so white
white is
swirling around me.
Kissing the snow
maybe too cold for others
maybe too harsh
not for me.
sometimes I like to
Stop as I'm blowing
to see the
wonders of the forest.
All of the wonders
are buried
under so much snow
Trees try to resist me
but no leaves makes it hard
Seeing only white mounds
seeing only happy squirrels
I try to stop
try to move the snow
not pausing in trip
just trying to warm up
If I warm up,
it warms up
all around me.
Say what's that?
Get up, stop lying there!
Tall but thin
Sappy
Tame and peaceful.
I'm going to say hello,
Taffy Tree, How do you do?
Oh my!
are you the
Wind
that's warm!?
You feel exquisite.
Taffy Tree it's magical here.
Especially spring time.
Happy to visit again then.
Taffy Tree, don't go away!
Spring
You feel the air
It's not warm
but not cold
Maybe West is here
Yes quite cool.
Taffy Tree Taffy Tree
Wow! The snow is gone!
Really incredible.
The ground has come to life.
It's happening Taffy Tree
I see a digging mole
I see a rabbit hopping
I see the leaves peeping out
of their buds!
I hear the birds
singing to each other.
The sounds that mean
Here I am!
Do the birds
want to stay?
North carried
them very far.
It's four in the morning
they are so loud
Natural orchestra of music
so frightening and magical!
Yesterday there was silence
today there's
percussion, melody, chimes
all around me
West, it's lucky timing.
It's becoming
not existing
It's on
not off
It's paving the way
It's having that
alive feeling
Taste the air
It's part North
and part South
The parts are making a tornado of senses
Nothing we can do
but watch and wait
Time to go!
I have to keep moving.
That's the wind's way.
Taffy Tree
Talk to you soon!
The South wind
is trying to get here
it's finally feeling warm!
Take care West!
Summer
Finally I'm back!
The forest has awoken!
Yes Taffy Tree
Please come out!
It's here!
The summer.
Magnificent green everywhere
All around me
it is full of life.
Under the growth
Taffy Tree is hidden
So hidden among the leaves.
Oh amazing Taffy Tree!
Pipsqueak in the
massive green ocean.
Wearing your best suit.
Somewhere in there
Water trickles
Time stands still
Always wearing
Sweat of summer.
Very garish!
That medieval wood
That very busy wood
That hard to move
through wood!
Help me!
Taffy Tree!
It's me
returning to see you!
Show yourself
Taffy Tree!
It's hard to see
There's too much
Something's in the way
The breeze
tells me a story!
Tastes like
Part South
and part North.
Ants and Snakes
Hard to avoid
Mosquitoes and Gnats.
Sounds to listen to
Sounds to feel,
with vibrating air.
Sounds to make
soaring through
the leaves.
I'm sad to go,
South is pushing me on!
Sorry
to miss you
Taffy Tree!
Show yourself!
Tell me your place
in the crowd!
Save the
Tall tales
for the yellow leaves
time of year.
I will see you then.
Wind waits for
No one!
Autumn
At last I found you!
Taffy Tree!
Look at you!
Unbelievable, so beautiful!
Iridescent!
I am the same Taffy Tree
you met seasons ago.
Teach me how
to change colour!
I'm happy to share
Use your time tested leaves
to cautiously...
Wind have no leaves!
Fear not!
I will share.
Try to create
a whirlwind.
Feel my twirling storm!
Use my powerful breeze!
TURN
TURN
TURN
Use it!
Excellent!
Try on my leaves!
Your yellow takes to the sky!
UP
UP
UP
Your yellow
is a part of me!
Your only
instruction worked.
I'm so beautiful!
Try to never
STOP!
Swirling so fast!
Too fast!
Losing steam.
Too bad!
Will the quite
WILD leaves
return to you Taffy Tree?
That's too much
to ask!
They gave it
their all!
Really sorry!
Some seasons
are unfair!
Yellow Leaves Time
is a part
of life.
Are you scared
to lose
your leaves
Taffy Tree?!
It's time West
Time to shake
the rest off.
The taste of snow
is in the air.
It's been a pleasure.
You're really not
feeling a loss?
The cycle is complete!
When we met
I looked so bare.
The life cycle goes
around and around.
Very sad to say
that it's time for me
to return west.
May I go with you West?
That's not possible Taffy Tree.
You need the soil
and I need the sky.
Perhaps you can visit
next year.
