Daughter Nature’s Dreams

I want to run free
through the open plains
the wind whipping my mane

I want to soar high
over thick wooded forests
feathers floating through the wind

I want to dive deep
under the dark black sea
water rushing over my fins

I want to nestle close
in a dirty hole
cuddled close with furry friends

I want to climb upwards
to the very tops of trees
swinging freely from limb to limb

I want to grow strong
taking the flat lands by storm
with winds blowing across my back

I want to circle the Earth
creating wind and gust
providing a breathing life for all

I want to rain everywhere
falling from steep cliff side
in a never ending cycle frozen everywhere

I want to hold life
dead lying below the living
keeping everything warm and dry

I want to grow tall
standing firm with deep roots
showing the great storms gone past

I want to hold the spirit
of all living in my hands
and gently carve a peaceful world

Well titled. You really got under this person's skin and showed us her wants the way she would. Good job.
There is one stanza, though, that doesn't quite fit and breaks apart the rhythm:
I want to grow plentifully
taking the flat lands by storm
with winds blowing across my back

Look for a synonym for "Plentifully". It has too many sylabuls in comparison to the other stanzas. The second line is also a bit too full, but I think that if you just alter the first line, it will sound better. Play with it and see what you come up with.
Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake... unless it's to remind him that he won't fail... he just won't kill you.
