Poem - The Wind - Christian Rossetti

THE WIND

Who has seen the wind? 

Neither I nor you. 

But when the leaves hang trembling, 

The wind is passing through. 

Who has seen the wind? 

Neither you nor I. 

But when the trees bow down their heads, 

The wind is passing by.

I love the simplicity of this poem by English poet Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894).  It also reminds me of a beloved Canadian novel that was published in the 1940s - Who has seen the wind - by W O Mitchell, about a little boy growing up in a small town in the Prairies of Canada, dealing with disappointment, death, and the ups and downs of growing up.  It is similar to our faith.  We see a lot of affects of our faith, but our faith can be hard to pin down.
