If there were no wind

I thought to think about
the words of the boy
What would the world be like
if there no wind

No wind chill factor for sure
but much more layered still
no scents upon the breeze
no huddling against the chill

No seeds upon a breeze
no dancing of smoke
or a candle’s flame
nothing moving
all just the same

The flagrance of flowers
only for those who stop
no sound moving out
from the our mouths
no thunder, all is still
