What do you think this poem is about?

If You Were The Breeze!

I see the light approaching,
The earth is rumbling
And the wind is too strong...

I know,
Your momentum is great,
My question left no traction
For equivocation...

Be swift,
If you must blow me away,
Remove me completely
From the ground's attachment...

But, if your breath is sweet,
Kiss me a thousand times
And I will raise a flag to honor
The breeze...

    I can just picture it now. You holding strong against the wind, pushing your way threw to reach the end. Your will is strong and you wont give in. I can see that this is to a loved one, and that you love them very dear because if your willing to fight threw this storm to get to them, then they are worth the love you share with them.
