As tall as the wind
‘Who is as tall
as the wind?’
said the sea
to the sky,
‘why, not me!’
whispered
the tree
with her leaves,
tickling with curiosity
by and by.
‘So, who is
as tall
as the wind?’
asked the tree
of the earth,
‘why, not me!’
answered the seed
growing with life
smiling and laughing
with mirth.
‘Who then
IS as tall
as the wind?’
asked the seed
of the soil
‘Why not me!’
replied the worm
eating
and breathing
in consummate
toil
‘Who then
is as tall
as the wind?
You?’ asked
the worm
to the bird
flying high
overhead
‘Why, really,
not me?’
buzzed the bee
rather curiously,
it must be said.
‘It is I
who is
as tall
as the wind,’
replied April
and stretched
as tall
as the sky
and chased
any doubts
from winter’s
goodbye.
