Weather

If I was to weather, would I be a calm sunny day?

Or mid ocean rage with salt strung throughout the air.

The damp breeze after the rain, grass is jewelled by waterdrops.

Would I be the thunder in the clouds, grey and seamless.

Though I could maybe be the lightning, fast, memorable.

Would I be a sea of life, endless and completely undiscovered.

Could I be the fog that embraces a mountain on a cold afternoon.

Maybe the stars in the sky, at night, where they're all you can see.

Or the moon in the evening when light is still present,

but you can still see the crescent.

Possibly a flood surging through an abandoned town,

with dogs left to drown and pictures still framed on walls.

Maybe I could be an avalanche, engulfing trees in my hoard of snow.

I might embody a cool summer night breeze that only lasts so long.

The kind that runs its fingers through your hair if it had some too.

Or I may be seen as a dark sky with few stars decorating it.

Though that means they are seen, and wished on more.

I might be the clouds that surround the moon in the evening.

Leaving just enough space for it to shine, but there.

Though I could tear the ground up and swallow civilisation whole.

I could tear through endless cities in my catastrophe.

Could I be a dry winter day that paints your nose pink.

A day that's not icy enough for something warm but still cool.

Or maybe I could be a tornado, named something pretty.

So that way, in my destruction they have someone to blame.

I would like to be a lake, green and slow moving.

Current sluggishly pulling and pushing throughout the day.

Or maybe an oasis, like a gem in a city of rocks.

Though sometimes I want to be like any other ordinary day.

I want the wind to be just right and flick your hair over your shoulder.

And others, I tend to blow my breeze wishing on you to fall to your knees.

Do I have the potential to be a garden of flowers with butterflies?

Could I attract such a gentle creature into my lair of living?

I am yet to know that answer but I think everyone has their own weather.

If I was to weather, would I be a calm sunny day or would I release my unkept rage?
