I Have Seen the Wind

Who has seen the wind she said?

Her assumptions of the naught

Leaves will tremble, trees will bow

When the wind is in distraught

She said that passing through or by

The wind, we cannot see

She said that neither you or I

Have seen the wind to be

Yet it must be mentioned, as matter of fact

There is more to a pound than a penny

And I assure you I have seen the wind

Not once, not twice, but many

Now let me state, on the record

Since I hate to disprove her claim

The wind is a wildly, curious thing

And most difficult to contain

Yet one day walking along a river

Something auspiciously came about

I saw the wind by accident

When it turned into a trout

It flipped into the air you see

In a breeze of all its might

Turning from an invisible wind

To a pescatarian delight

It swam the waves within the air

My eyes cemented wide

It carried on without a care

Dancing on an invisible tide

I watched and watched

As time stood still

In astonishment and glee

To see the wind incarnate

Was an immaculate decree

So you see, my eyes have seen the wind

In the form of a trouty gale

Until the enigma turned to wind again

Leaving this incredibly auspicious tale
