Wind

when I sit with you
still in mind and body,
you tickle me
until every hair
on my lifeless body
stands on end
to dance, feel
and celebrate
the sheer joy
of being alive!

when I stand with you
as you make your way,
you push on me
until every cell
on my taut being
is aroused
and set afloat
to blaze its trail
and journey on
in this endless cosmos.

when I am with you
I understand what it is
and how it feels
to be nothing
and yet own all,
an atom of stardust
swirling, dancing,
with the wind
beneath my wings,
set a free in the Universe.
