I am the wind

pushing you along

            whispering in your ear

ever present

strong and wild then

calm and peaceful

I rustle the leaves as you pass

I make the wind chimes sing for you to hear

I bring coolness and refreshment to you

            on hot steamy nights

I chill you to the bone

            passing through all your layers

on cold winter days

I warn you of impending storms

            and howl for you at night

I make the candle flicker

            and the porch swing sway

I help you glide across the sky

            and push your sails across the seas

I am the wind
