Other Winds
by
Bob MacKenzie


There are other winds
in the west
I have not yet felt.

They are there in wait
for the unwary
travelling in the dark.

They lurk in the shadows
of the Rockies
like gullies and ravines.

Their disguise is perfect
shadows among shadows
growing daily darker there.

Their disguise is perfect
whispering winds
among the mountain breezes.

One day I know I shall enter
the wrong dark ravine
meet the wrong dark wind.
