I Want To Sway and Bend

I dream of the wind blowing through my hair, that's how I win the rush of air is heaven sent cold or warm; Gods breath is my friend a power with great might; that can threaten any town and tear down any gate, let a twister form within my soul the weather is splendiferous oh, how I love it so, car windows rolled down; zipping down the freeway my hand stuck out; being forced back by this whim I inhale the particles swishing around in the wind, but I never choke to the trees I want to sway and bend.

Again, Candice, you have captured my imagination with "Gods breath is my friend" and then "let a twister form within my soul" .. I think we underestimate God's latent power when we seek His gentleness.

C.S.Lewis writes about Aslan, in response to Lucy's question; "Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.” - your poem reminded me of that perception we need :-)
