Elemental
I watched a tree grow
as a single leaf stretched
to touch ground
its homage in the descent
heralds came laying siege
lifting a brown orphan
lost to nature
a whirlwind creates
its first movement
this is music
southern winds gust
through the hedgerow
in the Mexican wave
of mother earth
still I can hear
rhythms in the wind
as the death of stillness
is upon me
I dance, confetti
circles my head
as I touch
finger to a bloom
flying without wings
vibrating to life
in the eddy and flow
my dress dances a samba,
as hair pirouettes on end
static with excitement
braced in her hold
I am fearless
elemental that I am
