What Am I

Maybe I forever change eternal
Maybe I am both outside and Internal
Maybe I am an entity with no visible existence
Maybe you cannot physically touch me, I am distant 
Maybe I choose on who lives or dies, who goes or who survives
Maybe I am on the land silent and unseen or in the skies
Maybe I arrive in many different shapes, forms and ways
Maybe I am there both during the darkest of nights and the lightest of days
Maybe dependant on me, you can do the things you enjoy with so much gusto
Maybe dependant on me, you cannot because I have opened up with a tumultuous fury and let go
Maybe my power places you in danger, in the face of adversary
Maybe the calmness I flow becomes your beneficiary 
Maybe because of who or what I am you will enjoy me
Maybe because of who or what I am you will despise me
Maybe I influence on the walk or  the run, on the sail or the fly
Maybe You know that I change like the wind or the darkest of sky
Maybe as such, I have said far too much
What am I
