As tall as the wind


‘Who is as tall 

as the wind?’

said the sea 

to the sky, 

‘why, not me!’

whispered 

the tree

with her leaves, 

tickling with curiosity 

by and by.


‘So, who is 

as tall 

as the wind?’

asked the tree 

of the earth,

‘why, not me!’

answered the seed

growing with life

smiling and laughing

with mirth.


‘Who then 

IS as tall 

as the wind?’

asked the seed

of the soil

‘Why not me!’

replied the worm

eating 

and breathing

in consummate

toil 


‘Who then 

is as tall 

as the wind?

You?’ asked 

the worm

to the bird 

flying high

overhead

‘Why, really,

not me?’

buzzed the bee

rather curiously,

it must be said.


‘It is I

who is

as tall

as the wind,’

replied April

and stretched

as tall 

as the sky

and chased

any doubts 

from winter’s

goodbye.
