I feel the wind go by so free
I hear just silence in my space
I see the world below in change
And truly love this happy place

Freedom is my feel of heart
And gift one cannot easy find
Imagination and a dream
Appear and fill this craving mind

Not bound by earth to walk its road
Nor tethered to the ground to stay
But on the wing of freedoms take
And off it takes me far away

Beyond the realm of human guess
Passed the bounty of one’s find
Forgotten then the daily mess
When freedom takes the mind

The wind does that to me... I love listening to it helps me find my silence ... I love this part of this poem.  Very pretty.
