once indeed
the flight of the wind
gripped me still
hailing me where I stand
careless crescendo
wave your daring dreamer's hand
kiss me with your howling whispers
tell me of your plan
there are voices
I can hear
speaking from far, far away
they reverberate hope in my heart
music fills the silent day and I
screen all the fractures that prevent me
from sailing into the stream that meets
your fond river's end
and your influence starts bending my so
loving will to the way of the wind.........
