Break free from the storm beneath you.
Embrace the wind: Do not fight it:
adversity will lift your wings,
send you soaring into happiness,
and you would not have learned to fly without it.
Author notes
Based around the idea that adversity shouldn't be disregarded as a life experience because it often leaves you stronger and challenges you to rise higher.

This is a great poem connecting human lifetime events with the aspects of natue. In some way it is not you however!
This poem just reminded me of a very ancient poem that has been translated into the English language in more recent centuries.
The poem is by a man called Amergin/Amerquin who was a famous Indo-European Celtic leader, in Ireland, centuries and centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ. The poem is translated like this:-
I am the wind that breathes upon the sea,
I am the wave of the occean,
I am the murmour of the billows,
I am the Ox of the seven combats,
I am the vulture upon the rocks,
I am the beam of the sun,
I am the fairest of plants,
I am the wild boar in valour,
I am the salmon in the water,
I am the lake of the plain,
I am the word of science,
I am the point of the lance of battle,
I am the God who created in the head of fire,
Who is it who throws light into the meeting on the mountain?
Who announces the ages of the moon?
Who teaches the place where couches the sun? (if not I?)
Writen by the personal hand of Amergin/Amerquin
