If I Were The Wind….

If I were the wind,
I would be a calm, balmy 
breeze.
I would feel like a caress.
I would feel like a friendly hand.

If I were the wind,
My breath would never be full
Of rain.
My touch would hold no thunder
Or lightning bolts.

If I were the wind,
I would be a friendly 
Breeze.
I would play with kites and keep them
From tangling in trees.
I would keep them
Airborne in straight lines.

If I were the wind,
I would never carry
Tornadoes.
I would carry 
Birdsong and laughter and joy
In my air
In my breeze
If I were the wind.
