I Am 1

I am water, I flow single mindedly in search of the sea, I am a fast moving torrent of rage, As I rumble over the shallow rapids, I am a slow and lazy pool of the darkest, still depths, I hover above you as a rain drenched cloud, Holding back no more I spill down, A warm cascade that sooths as I wash away Discord and debris, Your parched skin hungrily drinks me in, I drench the dry banks and nourish new growth, A slow and steady soaking inwardly seeping, I fill your spirit and flow through your veins, I am the current of hope and an inviting cove of belonging, I flow gracefully around obstacles meant to block my way, I batter the shores with my rage, I am water, I flow single mindedly in search of the sea, Onwardly around every bend….. I am Earth, Home to all creatures, infinite and unconditional, The bosom of my soil yields life, comfort, peace and love I am wonder filled caves, Green hills of glory, Valleys rich in splendor, I am steep rocky ledges too treacherous to navigate, I am dangerous slides of loose stones To which you loose your footing, Send your roots deep within me so I may hold you up straight and strong as your reach upwards in search of the sun, I am generous in my abundance and shelter, I am merciless in the barren waste lands that yield nothing, My terrain is every changing, impossible to predict, I am high mountain peaks too dangerous to scale, I am a vastness of beaty and life, I am Earth, Home to all creatures, infinite and unconditional, Patient, loving, forever I am the wind, The roar of my soul fills your head, I am a whirl wind that blows through the cracks in your heart, I am a restless first breeze of Spring, That ripples over grass and skin, I am the still and content breath of summer, Breath me in and be filled with relief, I am the un-predicable brilliance of Fall, I touch the leaves and send them spirally downward, I am the first bite of winter to which you put up your collar and turn your back, I am the cyclone of emotion and furry of confusion hat rips at the walls and rattles the windows, I am the breeze that flows smoothly through the grasp of those who try to hold me or control me, I scatter your seeds to the four corners, I am the wind, The roar of my soul fills your head, I change direction and disappear ….
