The colour of the wind

What colour is the wind?

The South-Easter is a powerful wind. It is a red wind. It is a red because it is very angry. It blows strong gusts affecting anything in its path. Red is also the colour of passion. If one were to describe their passion for a loved one a type of wind, they would describe this passion as blowing as strong as the South-Easter. It could also be seen as a green wind. It blows away the pollution hanging over Cape Town. It could even cleanse ones sole.It could also be cloud-white. White is the colour of the clouds that make themselves present on the top of Table Mountain, creating a tablecloth. Racing towards the city, but never getting there. It is the colour of marvel and mystery.

The sea breeze is a calm and refreshing wind. It is an icy-blue. It refreshes ones thoughts and clears ones head. It calms and soothes anyone that walks into its waves of coolness. It is cold enough to take ones breath away with a swift movement.

The berg wind is warm and sticky. Creates a sense of warmth and comfort. It is the colour of orange. Orange like a beautiful sunset on a perfect summer’s day.

A hurricane is an unbearable wind. It destroys anything in its path. It is a deep-purple wind. It is dark and dreary, causing havoc and heartbreak everywhere it goes. It is more than just an angry wind. It is a destructive wind.

Colours, like the wind, can be felt. Not the colours themselves, but the emotions they bring out in one. Wind to has the power to affect ones mood. Therefore winds do have colours…..
