Notice certain branches

swaying

not all of them

but here and there

branches are moving

*

The wind breathes like life

And life flows with the wind

Sometimes hiding in the trees

And then starting up again

**

The sky breathes lightly

**

Observe many green leaves

Trembling

Likely all of them

Everywhere

The leaves are quivering

*

Leaves latching up and down

Forming shapes with the wind

Lines of life connect in the trees

In the summer breeze again

**

All around me

An awareness of a presence

A world

A life

A day to embrace

And achieve a goal

To make a difference 

*

The wind rushes against our faces

Taking us to different places

Charging for the sky

Pushing us to try

To find a way to fly

Connect with all of life

Do our best to make it

The winds of time will never die

**

Notice all the branches

swaying

Now none of them

But just a leaf dances

until they’re all moving again

*

The wind breathes like life

And life flows with the wind

Often winding through trees

And then rising up again
