A Mighty Wind

Wind of change, unwanted
With her gale in the wrong direction
Wildflowers, once gently caressed
Wilt away slowly in her soiled hand
Were they not content
Where she found them?

    I can think of at least three or four ways to interpret this, which - of course - makes it a good little poem.

    You must love some of the comments.

    For me, the last thought sounds like a focus for a poem, or even a story. Dump the rest.
