I AM like a flag unfurled in space, I scent the oncoming winds and must bend with them, While the things beneath are not yet stirring, While the doors close gently and there is silence in the chimneys And the windows do not yet tremble and the dust is still heavy— Then I feel the storm and am vibrant like the sea And expand and withdraw into myself And thrust myself forth and am alone in the great storm. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONFLICT AND PEACE by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS LITTLE JOHN AND THE RED FRIAR; A LAY OF SHERWOOD by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN LOVE IN THE DAWN by WILLIAM ROSE BENET YOUR NEIGHBOR by H.
