This poem explores the nature of wind and how it can have both positive and negative effects, blowing either benignly or discordantly, and creating storms but also providing relief from heat. The author sees her own purpose and path in life as akin to a feather on the wind, subject to forces outside her control and not knowing where she may end up.

1. The Breeze of My Wind
Wind may blow benignly
Wind may blow discordantly
Wind may make sandstorms, snowstorms, and death
Wind may also be cherished on a scorching hot day
Wind is not pure
Wind is not impure
Wind is there all the time
Wind is only a silent test
An unseen force
It’s not felt until it’s gone
As the wind’s purpose is to blow
My purpose like a feather
not knowing where the wind will take me
