Winds of Change

I cry to the winds of change 

Asking for gentle relief

To ebb the flowing tide

To change the river's course

 

I cry to the winds of change

Gratitude for good fortune

To fly without wings

And live above the rains

 

When the winds flow in favor

I feel heard and with you

When the winds turn wrong

Abandoned and alone I walk

 

In my wisdom I am sure

A proper course evermore

That I a God for just a day

Could proper justice place

I cry to the winds of change

Just a moment to be heard

In silence they did yield

A world completely still

I shared my facts and figures

A quest of right and wrong

Change course I implore

My routes a truer way

The breeze blew gently by

Resting passions tongue

Ruffling a branch nearby

A falling leaf in open hand

Then came gentle whisper

I have crossed the seas

And moved the clouds

To make my way to you

I have known you all along

Spinning freely as a child

Throwing leaves in the air

No matter the way they go

The moment new eyes met

I touched her flowing hair

But you noticed me not

Lost deep in that present

Our wants are poles apart

You want a path controlled

A destiny clearly outlined 

Without change unplanned

 

While I want you to spin

Dancing in flying leaves

Awakened to possibility

Of the journey of change
