Today’s Post Brought to You By Emma

“Today I will tell a short story about a girl who wanted to speak to the wind. She listened with ears attuned to wind’s song, and desired to speak with its power and beauty. But the wind was not used to listening, and the sounds she made were ignored. People heard her and told her to be less noisy. The wind was loud, yet no one attempted to quiet it. The girl understood the wind’s voice and eventually it heard her. Neither one spoke with words.

“The End”

Emma chose this image from a google search “Girl in the wind”

I love your story, Emma! Do you know the Robert Louis Stevensonpoem:
“Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I,
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.”

Love you and your stories.

Of course I was totally wrong, it is NOT Robert Louis Stevenson but Christina Rossetti. And it starts with:
“Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you,
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through”.
Sorry!
