Where the Wind Blows
You shelter me from the Autumn sunlight
You’re a mighty oak of tranquility
Peacefulness expounds from your colored leaves
The feel of Autumn is seen tenderly
Through this awesome oak I hold my head high
Where the wind blows your leaves move on along
Supremacy runs through its hardened veins
Where the wind blows nothing seems to be wrong
Within the air are red and orange leaves
Enhanced colors bring pleasurable days
The sky is in a mauve great expression
Lending right to the breeze a lovely haze
The air moves across the oak tree swaying
Seeming to just play with the sky above
This breeze enlightens from where the wind blows
The wind gives the tree an almighty shove
In bewilderment I watch the leaves move
Right along across the yard before me
They tumble on top of one another
It is where the wind blows that makes me free
