Wailing Wind 

 Wind wailed
unrelenting
for hundreds of years
sweeping
lush green meadows
free of fertility
barren wasteland left
in their wake

Oceans flooded shores
crumbling
tumbling 
all in its path
monuments of civilizations
succumbed
buried beneath
muck 
rubble 
sand 
oceans

 Nothing remained
of the world 
humanity created
destroyed

Sun rose and set
our only constant
we trees survived
wailing with the wind
mourning our loss

 One evening
as sun set
wind grew quiet
cries abated
tears dried
all was silent 
serene 

Magnificent golden drops
drifted gently
floating earthbound
softly landing
on solid soil

They pulsed

Embryos of new life
renewed hope
