I Am the Wind

I am the wind; a tempest tossing leaves and rain; I move, re-arrange things as I please. On dark, damp nights, I bring energy and light; yet, I’ve never claimed to, be a performer. My whims are a surprise; my tantrums, terrifying and I bring forth many changes and emotions. The non-discriminating adventurer that I am, I touch every living thing; man and beast cower, at my command. As Mama Nature’s eldest son; I control my siblings well; commanding fire and water. I teach them to be strong And we elements are within you. You mobile batteries may create artificial light and darkness; among other opposites that, attract and without whom, duality would not exist. Non-duality is a mind-numbing movie; short-lived and perfectly useless; an empty stage, left to rot. I am the wind and I blow where and how I please with, all at my mercy.
