Wind Song

Listen! What do you hear?

Wind Song

Diyin Niyol

Holy Wind

I hear your song in the canyon!

The leaves

sway

flutter

and dip

to your Wind Song…

may I do likewise!

Dance to its poetic composition

Enveloped and mesmerized

Captured

within its spell,

pondering its message.

Spurred by the rhythm

and movement

in Hozho...

like the trees

that dance

within this quiet canyon.

 

Author's Note

In Dine' creation stories, Holy Wind plays an integral part in the creation of the Navajo people.

[Coyote Poetry]

I loved the poetry my dear friend. I use to free-climb any mountain near. I loved to watch the hawks dance in the sky and feel the free wind. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry. I hope you are doing well and being healthy.

Hozho (Navajo) means happiness, peace, positivity, tranquility, order and balance. It is a state of being.

I've always believed the wind speaks to us. The way it rustles through a canopy of trees, cascading leaves. I would love to learn more about the Navajo people. I hope you exhibit more through your poetry!

[Antoñyo]

Yes, "captured within its spell" I was. Loved the flow (though I'm a bit bias, being a wind lover),
and something that pulls me not just in, but through to the other side.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you Antonyo for visiting. I do love the wind, the beauty of sweet gentle movement, chaos and everything in between.

Here the reader seems to be transformed into a meditative state... becoming one with nature and their surrounding... What you hear can be an enlighten state of being...

Everything in the universe has spirit. I am American Indian and this truth has been a fundamental teaching in our traditional ways.

' The leaves ~~ sway ~~ flutter ~~ and dip ~~ to your Wind Song… ~~ may I do likewise! '

For me this is Spirit, the place to be. Tis beautiful in word and meaning, Eileen. Now calm wraps around the air i sit in.

[Jaweena...Eileen Quintana]

Sweet Emma, you are also mesmerized within the beauty of this protective force. Kindred spirit....

[emmajoy]

That glorious Spirit is whole, the core of being - but in a myriad of guises. How could anyone miss it, Eileen.

These words still bring me to life when my spirit's low... sigh

the Native American peoples have always held a fascination to me.....This poem speaks from the soul

In Creation stories in my tribe, we are taught that Wind can protect and guide you if you listen carefully.

Lovely write the blessings of nature and the wind!

[Jaweena...Eileen Quintana]

How healing it is to feel the moisture of cool vapor saturate your sinus when fighting to breath. How quickly it can take your breath away in the cold of winter's hold. Be careful....respect it's power.

[SyberRose]

Yes you have to pay attention to nature don't you...the birds ...the wind..the rain..lovely poem from you...SyberRose

[Jaweena...Eileen Quintana]

How bland life would be if you did not notice or acknowledge the forces around you. The universe is filled with magnificent phenomenom

[Muse]

this spoke to me...maybe it's partly due to my Native American roots.

Nature is at peace with you, and your words paint a vivid picture of this. Stunning...

[Jaweena...Eileen Quintana]

I am amazed by the power of wind. To change landscape, environment, energy, riptides on and on and on. LOVE NATURE......RESPECT.
