Windy Ways!


It is the rainy season 
and I have a special friend nowadays,

The wind: 
which shows its face at my apartment 
in different guises.

It appears like a playmate,
 at times, beckoning me excitedly for a game.

Sometimes, 
scowling like an old witch, 
it screams in my ears like a banshee.

Like a lover, 
looks intensely into my eyes, 
breathless!

Always, 
it manages to get my attention 
and I spend hours feeling it 
wrapping itself round me!


Let me share with you paintings of mine, which personifies the playfulness, anger, and intensity of my friend, the wind!

Li'l fairies come to play!


 And, an angry woman sketch,

A scowling woman sketch I did.

Looking intensely!

Let me 'wind up' this post with a quote I found,

“The plants and flowers
I raised about my hut
I now surrender
To the will
Of the wind”
― Ryokan.

  1. what great prose - so descriptive about the ways of the wind - it is my least favourite type of weather (unless it's a warm breeze and I'm lying on a sunbed somewhere lovely and warm!) but you've managed to make it sound like something to look forward to and your illustrations capture those different moods perfectly!

  11. These are all great! I love the raw emotion you see in all their faces, including the woman in the painting's sense of discovery when looking at the fairy.
