What am I if not everything Good
an invisible force to Earth I give all.
Without me life is as still as oak wood,
and though meek, I am feared when loud I howl.
For me there is no beginning or end,
primordially placed perpetually;
ensuring I wield fragrances in air,
except when I rage as anger bests me.
“Why are you upset?” People ask in tears,
while they clean messes I make in their fields.
What I see on Earth invokes in me fears;
stress, anxiety, and trauma it yields.
Therefore if you want crashing storms to cease,
stop all human madness and show me peace.
