I followed the wind today
If it can make haste
Then so must I.
I rode its unpredictable back
An elemental goddess in my prime.
I moved with the leaves
Swept willingly along the path.
They danced jigs around my feet, my head
I was crowned their Queen.
Me? A Queen!
I felt all the power of the gusts inside me.
A whirling dervish, hovering above ground
Nothing but the sound of leaf adulation
Oh what a sound!
Yesterday I trudged through mud
Pulled my collar up against the draught
Sighed as the leaves stuck to my shoes.
Heard nothing but howling.
But today at last I will not freeze
I will harness the power of that wonderful breeze.
