~Wind~

I sense the wind's movement

from the north and south

or onshore gentle breezes

like curving lines dancing

in graceful synchronicity

their currents shifting

across the land

The air is saturated

with the scent of wildflowers

and birds swaying to the music

Seek me

where the moss is soft

to sit on

where the majestic tree

guarding the earth will

be an umbrella to shade us

I will be waiting there

with eyes closed and open arms

for you to arrive with the wind

Simply drop-dead gorgeous, Michelle. The wind is Mother Earth's breath, and we women can all be as goddesses if we try.
