Airing It Out
Today’s winds acting tough
Arguing with the ocean waves getting rough
“What is this stuff?
Enough Enough!!”
Man commented on the land
About the natural fan
“Would you chill?
Doing this at will?”
But the whirling
Kept swirling
“Are you done up there?
In the air”
Man wanted the truth
Before something rips off the roof
This was a feud
That was really rude
Feeling the bite
Seas looking angry in this fight
Rocking a boat
Trying to stay afloat
On the sidelines were the clouds
Hearing invisible obnoxious sounds
Shining the spot light
That was yellow and bright
On this day not even fit to fly a kite
“You are so out of control
Being so bold
Thinking you just can scold”
Man exclaimed about the flying cold
It was a debate that started from above
Pelting its point closing its hand wearing a glove
Cooling the summer heated love
Freezing the peaceful dove
“This bitterness has to end
Come to closure with what you defend”
Man hollered
Under his collar
Then she came along
Asked, “What is wrong?
What is with all this fuss?
Is it a must?
Having all these gusts?”
After the elements had a listen
Stillness projected an image that glistened
And Mother Nature fulfilled her daily mission
Soothing a savage beast
To say the least
While man took it in stride
Watched the simmering tides
Realizing the surf
Defended its turf
“Honey it doesn’t matter where it blows,”
She said since the lady knows
When to let it go
