As the wind blows

China-Li River by an unknown photographer.

The wind meanders its way through the mountains sighing sadly and
it makes me feel lost and uncertain like a river flowing to the sea
which winds past silent grasslands, mute trees and reserved
imposing hills, ignored by the expanse of blue sky and shunned by
the lingering clouds as beneath their exalted stations.

The birds occasionally sing their sympathies as they wing quietly
by on their way home in the dusk but disappear into the gloom
before I can ask for directions.

Hi Lee: Beautiful poem. Nature can be so intimidating. I can just imagine how small someone would feel in that boat.

A beautiful picture and many beautiful thoughts.

Thanks for sharing - may I borrow the picture ( ? ) for use later where I can fit - thanks for that too.

Have a great day tomorrow.

Hi friendly,

Please feel free to share the pic. Unfortunately, I do not know who the photographer is.
