I See the Wind

Late-Summer wind is sweet and warm
And powerful as a dragon

The current wraps ‘round my limbs
I am floating in the universal amniotic sac

My soul heaves against the gates 
I would fly if I simply fell into the life-giving ribbons

For my body cannot be ruled by gravity
While my soul flies beyond 

Still I am sturdy and free like the dancing limbs
Of the honey trees breathing in the breezes

The tingling of the stained glass chime
Marks its discordant tempo to the air’s melody

Unbottled liquid courage
Filled with scents of far-off-lands and adventure

My lungs cannot breathe deeply enough
The dancing molecules that sing so loudly

They block out the sharpness of the stars 
And I am left single-bodied and complete
