Where the wind sings

The wind whistles west
In the gloom of the glowing crest

It sings sweet songs
Long gone tunes

It carries with it
Leaves,
Crinkled and dead
The ashes,
And the fumes

It spreads its breath
With long even strokes

Dusting soft valleys
Yellowed by virgin snow

Along the shores of beach,
Rotting with the stink of salt

Over mountain peaks,
Where daylight will soon find its break

No beginning
And no end

Just,
The wind.
