by NONA BLYTH CLOUD
AIR — it’s all around us, but invisible unless combined with something else. We must have it to live, yet air becomes an alien environment the moment we lift off into it, separating from the Earth.
It is silent when still, but makes everything for miles shriek and roar when its Wind races over land or sea.

The whirling air takes form of dust –
A little hour – to fall again:
So whirling thought takes form of books,
Dust shaken from the minds of men.
— Bookplate by Sharlot Mabridth Hall
