Duty drove the words of the wind which was a chorus changing as each sang it. On a mountain side I sing To the trees I would bring Wind to drift their gentle boughs To wave for me In my lonely tower That pities the wind that freezes the soul That consumes us naked and whole Looking far into my life Stark staring wind is my knife Plunging into my heart break Wind my friend I am yours to take I will call to the wind that makes a mountain fair I will see my thoughts echo I see you standing there Storms above challenge my regard Dancing on my soul Raining through the shard I call to the wind Explosive as it flows Carry my wish As far as you can go I raise my eyes to your shadow The sun threads between your thoughts I let the grey enveloped me I have no reply I watch the trees wave To give you, your servant dear I watch the darkness in the valley Move to the cherished symbol there All you hold so dear And I will shortly join you Facing my own fear I will call to the wind that makes a mountain fair I will see my thoughts echo I see you standing there Storms above challenge my regard Dancing on my soul Raining through the shard I call to the wind Explosive as it flows Carry my wish As far as you can go They look aloft and never see below Unless it pleases them They are the lofty folk The world dreams of them I wait here with the rest Knowing I will die They will die magnificently I bye and bye People will remember them For their sacrifice The towers burnt in flames of smoke Their bodies billowing high I will die with these men Who will curse as they kill That they who want their loved ones Should be fodder for the mill We will die for ignorance And I will die Without my dying words heard My death matters least now Mindless killing while I watch matters Soulless killing destroys the killers and killed Knowing we are the foot Means a lot to us Dying as the foot Means we go inch by inch I will call to the wind that makes a mountain fair I will see my thoughts echo I see you standing there Storms above challenge my regard Dancing on my soul Raining through the shard I call to the wind Explosive as it flows Carry my wish As far as you can go |

Very captivating and very emotional. I loved this piece, reread it twice before I even responded, just amazing. ~Live and Laugh~ Because of you I laugh a little harder, smile a little more, and cry a little less |
