Cardinal Winds

There, where I live, there are winds and gales;
we respect each other,
although we blow different moans.
I am learning carefully
to know better our Cardinal points.

From the South, the wind comes warm,
brings lightning and homesickness,
thunders, storms.
We must go outside
to invite the sun
to recreate Summer colours.

From the Northern frozen breezes,
I protect myself the best I can
and with the mantle of the snow,
deaf-mute, both of us.
I look for fresh snow paths
covering the ice on the ground
- a slip could be fatal.

Ah, do not come to me, winds from the East!
Although, in the past, you have been glorious
bringing navigators,
You also bring staggering gusts,
storms.
Let us shut doors and windows!
Please, enter from the other side.

The pacific wind from the West
- it calms Atlantic longings.
It is the dominant, native wind
which makes me feel secure and cheers me up.
It softens my verses.

Here, where I live, there are winds and gales;
we respect each other,
although we blow different moans.
I am learning carefully
to know better our Cardinal points.
