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?

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.
