A Whisper On the Wind
I was a gentle whisper upon the wind
That swept over the green valleys
I climbed the height of the highest mountain
And murmured softly as I descended the slopes
I picked up speed and started moving swiftly
Over the plateau and the sun swept plains
I picked up speed and started to howl
Whistling around corners and pushing gust after gust
Bending the trees till they touched the earth
I reached the open water and the lapping waves became huge swells
Higher and higher went the waves until the white caps hit the shore
I took the rain and pelted it against the earth
Harder and harder as if in an angry rage
Then I blew my self out on the open ocean waves
Exhausted, I once again became a whisper on the wind
