The wind is blowing all around me, surrounding me, ingulfing me Like lukewarm water in a summer's pool disturbed by a child's jump the breath warm is blowing in all directions. Throwing 'round my locks of hair in unknown twists and lifts Gently tugging on my clothes like an eager child in need The wind is blowing all around me, surrounding me, ingulfing me. The trees sway in the breeze each to their own tune one bends low, while it's neighbor simply curtsey's to the wind's unknown power. I stand and admire the beauty of the scene while the sun shines on my face, warming my cheeks and heart and soul as I think of things not so often thought of. Like the breath warm wind and the lukewarm water my friends have surounded me. Caring me to better places, being the force behind my sails. At this moment it is now that I realize the freedom that I have, the freedom of the wind. To take what some will say can not be taken, to push aside those that always rule, to go to any place that my heart so desires. I have the power of silence yet I can make myself heard. I am free in the silent breeze that feels like serenity in movement. I am silent, though I am heard. I am powerful yet gentle. I am the everything in my dreams' envy, I am loved, I am me.
