I am wind, feel me as water
tracks cheek as tear,
caress as rill, patter shoulder as shower,
sting as storm, toss as swell,
hurl as torrent, slam as tsunami.

I am wind, taste me
sweet on throat as nectar,
tart as lemon, sour as vinegar,
bitter as aloe, dire as foxglove,
final as monkshood

I am wind, see me
tranquil as child’s sleep. Joyous as smile,
mischievous as giggle, dynamic as creation,
agile as flight, resolute as girder,
wrathful, enraged as destruction.

I am wind, hear me
sigh like lover,
murmur as collaborator, chatter as willow,
sing as choir, howl as wolf,
shriek as devastation.

I am wind, colour me
soft white as snow on tongue,
pastel as robin’s egg, lush as forest,
vibrant as vermilion, incandescent as flare
ominous as tar.

I am wind, breathe me
floral sweet, musk as wood,
rich as cherry, sharp as wine,
camphorous as mint, reek as alchemy,
pungent as decay.

I am wind,
find me as stranger, know me as friend,
lean on me as parent, love me as sibling,
bask in me, wallow in me, relish me,
fear me as foe
for I am wind.
