I wrote this poem in fifteen minutes as I sat by the open door with a gentle night breeze playing on my skin.

.

Zephyr Breeze

.

Zephyr breeze

Wafts through the window,

Bringing soft coolness

To fevered brow.

.

Zephyr breeze

Stirs autumn trees,

Causing golden shower

Of whispering leaves.

.

Zephyr breeze

Drifts in from the ocean,

Bringing the promise

Of evening rain.

.

Zephyr breeze

I wished you a tempest,

Reflecting the tumult

Of my grieving soul.

.

Zephyr breeze

Instead you stayed gentle,

Easing the turmoil

And bringing me peace.

.
