I am the maestro
Of land sky and sea
I am
A living 
Breathing 
Symphony
Of many sounds 
And sights
That I have found
Like the  BOOM 
Of the ocean 
When I lift her up
Then throw her down
Her roar
When I roll her 
To crash upon the cliffs 
Along the shore
Or the tinkling 
Of her shattered pieces
Falling back
Into the tide 
As I fly -  Fly -  Fly - 
High
Beneath
The blue 
Of a North Carolinian sky
Over--- 
The burning sand 
Slipping through
The slender
Sea Grasses
That whistle
As I tickle
Every strand
Whooshing - 
Through the cities 
And the towns
Tumbling
Bramble bushes
All around
Slamming shutters
And banging doors 
Before I leave
Turning every leaf 
On every tree
As I fly- fly- fly-
Higher and higher 
Piercing
The heavy black clouds 
To make them cry 
With screams
So loud 
They crack the sky
That thunders
In reply
Throwing
Bolts of lighting
Pelting drops of rain
As I fly- fly - fly -
Through the night
Into another day
Where
My concerto
Finally
Comes
To rest
Upon
MY
Dying

What an awesome write here, Elaine!! I've always thought the wind through the firs here in Oregon sounds exactly like the tides of the ocean rolling in ... it all seems synchronized somehow!! Sure hope they find someone to buy PoetrySoup and don't just shut it down!! I'd feel lost without it!!
