The Wind That is All Things

In the wind that is all things
Everything you can taste
And touch
And hear
And smell,
The salt sweeps horizontally
Across the lunar landscape
Of western Oklahoma.

And there is beauty here,
Where selenite crystals jut from sand,
Exposed by the ceaseless wind
And the ceaseless search
For treasure that brought me
To you and us to this place.

–Shaun Perkins

The videos were taken at the Great Salt Plains State Park in western Oklahoma. Incredible place. Make sure your sound is on so you can hear the wind.
