Aether Defends

Anticipation ends

as creation begins

Before chasing the words 

you must first know the wind

Direction predestined

on zephyrs ordained

Each gust but a phrasing

of verse unproclaimed

A breeze or a tempest

in a cyclone of hail

In sunshine or clouded

they come to regale

Those moments that matter

that time would suspend

Once spoken eternal

— and Aether defends
