AIR

Supplying the breath of life
To all the beings of our earth
It can raise us to the pinnacle of imagination
Or level our lands & lives to the depths of despair.
Not just a cool or warm breeze
A force invisible yet essential
Uncontrollable by the wiles of man
Unyielding to all who dare to show opposition.
Our atmosphere is equally friend and foe
Like an ally who challenges us to grow
Its imbalance can bring tempests & tornadoes
But within the squalls are heights we yearn to reach.
The brave reach out to embrace its vitality
Not unlike the passion of true love
Which grants the illusion of walking on a cloud
Though from the fall some may never recover.
Has mankind’s ambition polluted our world
To the point of self-destruction
Where every breath we take
Diminishes our chances for recovery.
We are born of the Spirit of the wind
We move with the currents
We take shelter from the flurry
We harness the power
When life leaves us to the spirit we gratefully return.
Divided from nature we are grounded, united with nature we soar freely above all.
