Air
Libra Lady, born an Air bender.
Perhaps it’s why I spent $400 on a plane ticket
Just to jump out of it at 90 mph.
For a quick fix, I do 90 mph on I-95 with all 4 windows down
So I can pretend I’m flying.
I’m not concerned with my hair blowing out of place
Don’t you know I just rode the back of the breeze?
Maybe it’s why my heads always in the damn clouds
Forgetting to be present
Sometimes missing the obvious
And overthinking everything
This annoys people.
I’m kinda elusive. It’s not my intent, just my nature.
Meaning, catch me if you can, but don’t hold me back.
I’m meant to be a little wild and wandering, but I’ll always come back home.
It’s the same reason why I never fully let anyone in
I give so much of myself away, I gotta keep some to myself
Mostly, I’m gentle and refreshing.
A nice cool breeze spreads the scent of flowers.
But every now and again…
I move the clouds out of my way and unsettle the earth
Summon the rain and thunder,
Knock you to your knees and make you repent of your sins against me
I Get Dangerous
I’m the reason you open your window on a nice day or a warm rainy night.
I’m just as warm and humid as I am cold and dry-
I’ll bite your nose and make your face numb.
Trees dance and wind chimes sing to the angels.
The thing that quenches & feeds flames.
With the help of the moon, I rock the sea
And clear the Earth to prepare the land for growth and change
In order for you to take deep breaths and sighs of relief
I had to exist
I’m the wind
in your hair
And the air you breathe.
