Nature's Breath
Beneath turgid skies,
dismal and bleak,
a cold wind blows.
I watch,
from my safe place,
where only I can see.
A raindrop,
then others,
stirring the dust.
Powdery plumes,
rise like dancers,
then spatter.
Flecks of white,
as wee snowflakes
dart through the rain.
A squall engulfs all,
in rain, and snow,
and blowing leaves.
The tempest beckons me,
to leave sanctuary,
and behold Nature's Breath.
Donning jacket,
forsaking hat,
I dash into the midst.
A vortex swirls,
I clasp at leaves,
flying much too fast.
Then close my eyes,
to feel Nature's kiss
upon my cheek.
My hair elopes,
and in Nature's hands,
is styled wild and free.
A final gust.
Then the curtain falls.
Nature's players move on.
As wind abates,
hopes of encore evanesce
into the grey horizon.
Snowflakes melt,
just a tease,
not winter yet.
A last leaf
releases its grip,
drifting to earth.
Landing in a rivulet,
it twirls and spins,
amid the rippling flume.
Finally ebbing,
in a leaf-framed
puddle-wonderful.
Smooth as glass,
reflecting Nature,
reflecting me.
