Alive
It's alive, don't you see
the very air around you breathe -
Breathe in, breathe out
like the tornadic wind that turns about;
You cannot harness it nor reign it in
revolving within this earthly spin;
its images digress
along south, north, east and west,
terrestrial and atmospheric virility
hostile, unfathomable, primal futility;
It's the spirit uncontained
like stormy skies and falling rain
The earth, the air, and the wind lives in humility
the spirit held within, alive in its fragility.
For Miranda Hawley's contest,
Personification of the Elements
