I am…

I am a breeze, rustling through the Autumn leaves.

Crisp clean air that revitalizes the land.

I am a ray of sunshine, blanketing the Earth with my warmth.

Providing the light for all life.

I am the rain, washing the dust of the day away.

Breathing new life into everything I touch.

I am a tree, standing tall above the grass.

Holding firm in my roots, creating a shelter.

I am the sand, simple enough.

Infinite grains creating a pathway to walk the beach.

I am a wave, traveling the vast sea.

Finally, ending my life gracefully against the shore.

  1. It’s only July, but the first two lines hit hard:

    “I am a breeze, rustling through the Autumn leaves.
    Crisp clean air that revitalizes the land.”

    As opposed to death and dying, revitalizing autumn wind adds a new thematic contrast. Very cool.
