An Ode to the Air
If the sun is gold and the grass green,
Then you have the grandest love I’ve seen
The air’s strength, like you, can cause despair
And wistfulness you have the ability to share
No, you caress the leaves of grass
Even when you could wipe out a mass
And if you are the air, then I must be a tree
I am mighty yet wrinkled
And you exist within me
Your power makes the roughest hail sprinkle
In this moment, we need each other
We coexist, no fear of another
The winter will come just like the wind
And often I can bear it with you
But one day, when Spring’s letters are ready to send
My existence requires more than two
Death’s feline feat crawl over the bend
My limbs reach to only a few
The air is fearless, and I am fearful
My hopeless wishes are prayerful
For Nature gives me you to exist
But you need not me to assist
