Sister Wind

Rush over me, sister wind
cars on the highway and my eyes snap open
to find myself so far from my happy home

Clear my slate, brother rain
play in rhythm to what my heart's been sayin'
about how no one really wants to be alone

Carry my voice oh mighty wind
sing my song, oh gentle rain
I need someone to show me how to begin
reveal in me the way back home again
give me that sweet sweet loving my soul friends
oh don't let it end

Push me on, sister wind
down crooked stairways and up 'round the bend
I'm tracing my footsteps leading back home

Cool my head, brother rain
like the simple beauty of a Joni refrain
I'd kill just to hear my love's voice on the phone

Soak up my spirit, oh gentle rain
fill my sails, oh mighty wind
I'm defined by false moves sickly like sin
renew in me a fire to start me up again
I need that sweet sweet living my soul friends
oh don't let it end

So rush over me sister wind
Give me your sweet sweet loving for my heart to mend
I need a whole lotta living my soul friends
oh never let it end
and hey my path is finally winding back home again

There's an affinity to nature in this I can relate to, although of a different perspective. The wind and the rain have a tendency to make me want to flee home instead of find my way back to it.

Enjoyed the read.

Physical homes and mental homes. Sometimes we do need to go back. If you really are traveling, wish you safe journeys on either path. Enjoyed!
