Power Within

A wind gust I am, inside my sweet dreams

I whirl through farm fields, deep valleys, blue streams

And glide to new heights, through dense clouds I soar 

Fly into the sun, and enter its core

Next I resurface, as rays of sunshine

I blanket the land, no shadows to find

The warmth of my light, heats up the ocean

I’m then in the sea, photon in motion

Wind meets the surface, now I’m a wave

From power within, a path do I pave

I dive to the depths, by thousands of feet

Past coral and whales, until all is bleak

Reaching the bottom, I scan its expanse

Reclaim its beauty, give sea life a chance

When I reemerge, a pearl in a shell

I sprawl on the beach, clean air do I smell

A child finds me there, then picks me right up

She treasures her find, I bring her good luck

And when she has died, I adorn her neck 

Then enter the earth, to take the next step

I seep into roots, a tree am I now

My leaves breathe new life, new essence somehow

And when life’s sustained, it’s time to return 

Entering the air, I take what I’ve learned 

A wind gust I am, inside my sweet dreams

I fly to the sun, once more shall I beam
