{In celebration of National Poetry Month, I’ll be posting a poem each weekday through the rest of April, and I invite you to join me! Leave a link to your poem of the day in the comments section below.}
I.
This is what I know:
All energy is
Wild
All bodies are
Energy
Let yourself
unravel
Become the
howling moon
Learn the language
of the wind
II.
Some creatures can only
be seen in
darkness.
Go to them
Take your hunger
Your open mouth
Your heartache
Walk into the
darkness
Discover the song
of your soul
III.
We all have spirits—
Stone and Rivers,
Fox and Snakes
Reveal Yours
The wind is waiting
to lift your song
to tousle it in peoples’ hair
to weave it among needled branches of pine
to whistle it across the seas
IV.
Remember this—
You are of bedrock &
mountain streams
Still and flowing
At once
The wind was there
at your birth,
blew into you,
became your first inhale
Root into the Earth
Tumble in the water
Exhale and set a gust
twirling around the world
Oh, Katie! This is just stunningly gorgeous. I don’t know where you are finding time to write a poem each day, but thank you so much for doing it. I’m sending this to Suz and my sister Marti. Hugs

The past two days have been gorgeously wild and windy and this poem by my friend Katie, a marvelous writer and human being, say it all so well that it seemed foolish to not just re-blog it here. Thanks Katie.
