My Favourite*****

Wind and Life

Blow sweet breath of wind

And take me like a leaf departing home

Speak to me from the sky

And place me where you will upon the ground

Wash my eyes with blue horizons

As you paint me in your grand design

Then weave me in your tapestry of air

And let me breathe with love

So, to when you test me with your coldness

I triumph with the warmth that’s in my heart

Follow me and lead me as I wander

Take me to the edge so I might see

Then whistle to me from the inner woods

Where droplets kiss the earth around my feet

And beams cascade and lead me to the clearing

Where I can take my part in natures play

And run forever on her theme

I absolutely love this poem and had to share it with you all! The possibilities to illustrating this poem are endless. The references to mother nature makes for just stunning mental imagery. The perfect subject matter for me!
