For Wendy Blaxland, That Wind is a response to what happens in her immediate natural world. She writes, ‘we have had much wild weather here in Australia in the past few years, but are also blessed by a vibrant light which always uplifts me.’
That Wind
That wind we fear frees
the old leaves from the trees
and sweeps the clouds on
to reveal the sky behind
like a luminous blue eggshell.
