Windmills from Amsterdam!

13 December 2010
Windmill!
Sender: ellenniek from Netherlands

"A windmill is an engine that is powered by the wind to produce energy. Often they are in a large building like traditional post mills, smock mills and tower mills. The energy windmills produce can be used in many ways, traditionally for grinding grain or spices, pumping water, sawing wood or hammering seeds. Modern wind power machines are used for generating electricity and are more commonly called wind turbines."


(Part of a song, The Windmills of Your Mind)
Round,

Like a circle in a spiral,
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending on beginning,
On an ever-spinning reel,
Like a snowball down a mountain,
Or a carnival balloon,
Like a carousel that's turning,
Running rings around the moon,
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping,
Past the minutes on its face,
And the world is like an apple,
Spinning silently in space,
Like the circles that you find,
In the windmills of your mind!
