Oh air, invisible yet so real,
In your embrace, I find my feel,
A whisper to you, my thoughts take flight,
In your presence, I find my light.

You, the breath of life, unseen,
Carry my words, my dreams, my sheen,
In your flow, my stories sail,
A testament to life's detail.

I write to you, my silent friend,
Of courage, love, where hearts don't bend,
In vulnerability, I share,
My human essence, laid bare.

In this robotic world, I dare,
To feel, to live, to deeply care,
For you, oh air, you understand,
The power of an open hand.

You dance with trees, with flowers too,
In gratitude, I stand with you,
For in your gentle, unseen touch,
I find a truth, a love, so much.

Emotional, yet wise, I strive,
To live with heart, to truly thrive,
In your vast expanse, I see,
The beauty of humanity.

So here I stand, and here I speak,
To you, oh air, my thoughts I leak,
For if you're real, as real as me,
Then life's a dance, and we are free.
