John 3 Sonnet

You said we never know which way the wind 
Will go, nor where it was before we heard 
The sound; we must accept our eyes are blind 
To how the Spirit bounds around. A bird 
Can simply spread her wings to harness air. 
A leaf can shimmer saying more when shook 
Than words could even try. That bird can share 
A thousand songs in just one wind-hung look. 
But water, Oh the water, sees and speaks! 
She watches more and knows much more; and should.  
For she can dance with God upon the creek. 
How can she be both wind and light, and Good? 
On every sunny windy day I see, 
If I will look, and then I must be free.
