Creature of the Wind 

How fitting, it is said in the Bible, we humans were made of dust.  But you, creature of vitality and beauty, you were made of warm southerly wind when Allah commanded, “Condense thyself.”  How blessed were all of us to share presence with you, the wind, when we were the dust.

You were streamlined because you were born of the wind.  So when you ran into or away from it, you swept streaming beautiful motion.  If we could see the wind, we would see you.

You made us more beautiful and made us feel finely made when we were with you.  Your powerful muscles and sinews that wrapped about your frame flexxed and were defined beneath a shining silky coat. You were like velvet wrapped over those sinews, and in the light, bouncing off the different angles, you shone like a polished diamond.

Lucky were we the dust, creature of the wind that now resides in heaven, in the sky.
