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!
