Chance of High Winds
When there is a chance of high winds I feel the world is more alive
More alive than the electric lights on the porch illuminating my evenings
More alive than the phone in my hands
More alive
Alive like me
I forget
At times how nature breathes
Just as I do
It sighs into the atmosphere
Full of longing and exhaustion
Just as I do
The hurricane stews in anger
The ocean cries and recedes into itself
Just like me
And the wind
Its ethereal, untouchable form
Like my inner self, like my psyche
Stretches far over lands and populations
Touch and go
Learning and flying through
Running too
It is alive
Just like me and the skies so blue
