It flutters down across the grass,
Carefree, living, yet having never been alive.
It sustains all animal life, all plant, all fungi,
And somehow itself will never die.
It can be everywhere here, yet nowhere there,
Embracing every body, blocking every stare,
It dances with grace in the treetops,
It shifts between the dirt and rocks.
Did you know that you need it? Most have forgot.
It can create or break an entire light of life.
It gives us the sun, the moon, the ability to see.
The ocean, the sand, whatever your life needs.
Breathe, exhale, blush and turn pale.
Air sustains all motion as the small, and great, hero.
